"Past economic models relied much less on proprietary
manufacturing and consumer product sales, with more emphasis on
manufacturing and repair as services called on by users who
considered self-repair and self-manufacture as defaults. Despite
modern concerns to the contrary, this approach is not destructive
to a commercial free market. If anything, such an economy
represents a more ideal capitalist marketplace. The creation of a
substantial free-licensed development bazaar will provide an
environment in which companies catering to these needs can thrive
and become much more competitive with the corporate consumer
product manufacturers which presently dominate our economics.
Clearly this is a necessary shift if we are to obtain the
flexibility and self-sufficiency needed for developing the new
frontier in space..."
