To be fair, it&#x27;s not &quot;all&quot; in the sense of &quot;all of us&quot;.<p>Many (frankly most) programmers are employed in positions where the revenue supporting their salary is not the sales of licenses to potentially copyable IP.  I work for a hardware vendor.  Web developers sell services and data access, etc...<p>I don&#x27;t necessarily agree with the grandparent&#x27;s position on copyright, but the content utopia those folks envision isn&#x27;t actually implausible.
