Exactly — why don't you start a company? If you know why you are not willing to start a company, even given your current financial state, then perhaps you will understand.

It seems your claims boil down to something like the following:

(#1) we should make it super-easy for a hypothetical new start-up to take existing code and commercialize it, because

(#2) if we were to start such a company, then we would want to enjoy such a benefit, and because

(#3) any hypothetical start-up is going to be small and powerless, and therefore need all the convenience they can get, unlike the current behemoths like Microsoft and Google which are powerful and kind of evil.

Sorry, but no. This whole line of "reasoning" is wrong on several levels.

Thank you!
