Either that's a misunderstanding of Stallman, falling into the classic
beer/speech fallacy, or I grossly misunderstand Stallman.

I've always assumed that one reason (though not the only reason)
people are willing to donate their coding on contemporary open-source
projects is precisely BECAUSE there's an aftermarket for services.
Kill the services market and open-source coding just isn't as
attractive.
