Besides a weak understanding of the law, Wallace is unfortunately mired 
in the proprietary past. His economic reasoning actually resembles that 
of the proprietary software vendors today. They may actually be 
dumbfounded by Easterbrook's reasoning. :-)

But let me state it clearly for the record: open source does not mean 
you have a divine right to profit margins or revenues. It's about 
freedom. The ability to make money from it is something you have to 
earn.

Oh poor EASTERBROOK. LOL.
