Re: looks like it's happening everywhere but the US.

I think that you misunderstand what RMS has been saying, Jan. He never 
said that people should 'give away' things. Sharing is the term. What's 
more, RMS has never said that one should not make money. Popular 
misconceptions. It's never been about starving.

I urge you to read more of what he wrote and form your own opinions. The 
opinions of others can be misleading. And give credit where credit is 
due - without him, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation at 
all. ;-)
