I suppose that Free Software was not attractive to capitalism also. To run debian in a 486 is not attractive for capitalism but it's attractive for me. But I like to think about our freedom and environmental aspects. Following your example, I know somebody who works in an well known tires company. He told me that exists a noncommercial design of tires with a very, very low wear. But this is not attractive also to capitalism. I know other more sad examples from drug industry.

[1 <text/plain; us-ascii (7bit)>] I just read about a studie from the sixties, in which the authors concluded that in that time, 30% of the cost of a car was inbedded in the costs of designing new models. That proportion is likely to have skyrocked in the last 40 years. A long-shot guess could be 50-80 % of a car today is made up of design cost? That would imply that if design was free, then material goods would be down with 50-80% too. Clearly not an attractive option to capitalism! /Johan --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
