Yes. It's about the motivation - how and why a product gets produced. That you can sell something doesn't mean it's developed _for_ sale/profit. And it's not about whether it's _legal_ to sell something. You can sell anything, legal or not, if you find a buyer for it. (The buyer might not legally own it as a result, but that's beside the point.) Selling something doesn't make it a commodity and its creation commodity production: production for exchange. If the development of GNU Emacs were dependent on its sale, then you might have an argument. It's not, and you don't. Your own livelihood might (or might not) depend on your sales of Emacs. But that alone doesn't affect the development of Emacs - its how and why, its raison d'etre. --- via emacs-tangents mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-tangents)
