Free markets are good a at lot of things, but staying free is not one of them. (Similarly for a democracy, by the way).<p>A &quot;naturally&quot; regulated market eventually converges into one all-powerful monopoly player - it&#x27;s a stable configuration that maximizes the profit for the owners of that monopoly.<p>So you have to regulate this &quot;freedom&quot; away from disappearing - in the same way that GPL regulates BSD freedom away from disappearing.
