"In the long run, making programs free is a step toward the post-scarcity world, where nobody will have to work very hard just to make a living. People will be free to devote themselves to activities that are fun, such as programming, after spending the necessary ten hours a week on required tasks such as legislation, family counseling, robot repair and asteroid prospecting. There will be no need to be able to make a living from programming."
What a scam. It seems to me that Stallman thinks everyone should program and attend "family counseling" for around 40+ hours a week. Sounds like an Orwellian nightmare to me.
Notice how you will be free to program for free. The key here is "there wil be no need to be able". Doublespeak if ever there was any.
