	I am not seriously in favor of this guy who says everything
should be free... [Hell, I'm about as much of a money-grubbing capitalist
as you can be. And I go to a stereotypically "hippie" college like UCSC!
I gotta work to change the image of this place!]
	I just thought of one good example.. Richard Greenblatt... I hope
he's the correct character from "Hackers" [where I learned about him]...
The guy that's writing a freeware UNIX clone... That guy actually has
some admirable qualities by trying to make such a huge project free, I'd
just rather make money off it.
