Eh? The true spirit of trading is casting lots? You throw in what you want to throw in and *maybe* someone will throw in something useful to you? That is not trading, that is altruism. Trading is exchanging *value for value* - I give you this thing of value, directly in exchange for that thing of value. You have nothing of value to exchange? Then you can't *trade*.
What is it that "hinders" your exchange of code today? How does Microsoft, the greatest producer of value that has ever existed, hinder your ability to exchange anything?
What's that? You think that Microsoft's programmers should give away their work? And do you believe in slavery? Do you believe in private property? Do you believe in justice (getting what you earn)?
