Most programmers earn a wage, not the full value of their labor.

    That's true of course. And it's true for a lot of people in other areas as well. In vacuum I'm all for open source software, in fact I would like it a lot if everything was open. But reality is that as a developer in a smaller software company we'd be out of our jobs immediately as other, larger companies would take everything that's worth taking and use their larger budgets to out advertise their copy.
