   There's no good reason that the tools that I have created for myself
could not be "gifted" to the community. In some ways they are FAR superior
to what commercial options are out there. It would not harm me or my 
employer to "share" that effort with the world at large.

   Everyone would benefit. Others would get something useful and my own
tools would be improved for my benefit.

   Collectively, what we might spend in terms of effort would be FAR less
that what we would spend buying someone else's relatively limited commercial
tools.

   Software is just one of those areas where "stone soup" is simply the most
economic and efficient approach.

   Pretty much. Software is one of those obvious areas where solutions arise
and don't need to be recreated again. Yet corporations need a constant revenue
stream and try to force everyone into paying for something they already have.
So it becomes remarkably more efficient for people to band together and create
their own solution or create their own entirely independently.

   Software is infinitely durable and has a marginal production cost of zero.

   Old, well solved areas in computer software are like that 60 year old drug
that the investment banker tried to jack up the price on.
