There's a fundamental incompatibility between ownership-based capitalist markets (and their orderly political state association) and free and open source software owned by "the community".

I believe the trend we are now on would lead us to a kind world in which even natural language has a concrete political entity (like a corporation or government) owning it in such a way that they'll pursue unauthorized speakers. For some it might seem far-fetched that natural language could ever be owned like this; hopefully they're right and this end won't ever be possible; just because it's a trend towards that does not mean we'll ever get to such an extreme.
