Dear Francis --

MIT is a private entity.

It has every right to attempt to generate revenue by selling its materials.


There is no requirement, legal or moral, that organizations go bankrupt to
meet your view that everything should be free and that nobody should be
allowed to make a living from his/her work.

The ultimate logic of your position is that we'll all be totally dependent
on government handouts.

And where will that leave our freedoms ?

Best, Rony Koven
