Although we're straying from the subject a bit, it's well known that a free press and other democratic institutions help combat the threat of famine. For more, please see Amartya Sen's writings on the topic. Sen was inspired by the Bengal famine of 1943, which killed three million people despite the fact there was adequate food supply in the area! Nothing like this famine has happened in India since it became free of British rule and has enjoyed some measure of democracy.Reminds me of the importance a population β experiencing widespread famine attach βesβ to β freedom of the press.
The analogy to software freedom should be obvious.
