An interesting question. (29/04/21 17:28:21)
Opensourcing will save a number of lives, but will diminish profits for the designer systems of new products. Water, electricity, health care - how much private, how much state? So the question to be aired is a political one. The USA seems to be taking an extremist view with full privatisation of all sorts of healthcare, and extreme profits for the pharma industry. For those who only expose themselves to right-wing media, this extreme view may look like mainstream. Brainwashing.
License fees will still be a possibility. Building factories, teaching personnel. Profits, but not windfall profits.
