Nice text! I think that it would be the best situation for everybody if there would be only Free Software and Free Knowledge. (even for economy in long term - a word most companies do not seem to know)

-- The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not anyone have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."
Jean Jacques Rousseau

We do not want to remove ownership or money. That would be impossible without even more wars. But for software and knowledge we have a real chance to free them. Do not forget that the polity has to help us: Software patents were introduced and there is more and more academical research paid by the states without being published for everybody. These are unfair possibilities for companies and they are even bad for economy.
