To be fair, Alex used the term "free" not of his own invention, but rather, as a response to Mousepod's definition of what Moore wants, or whatever.

When I have less of a screaming headache, I'll post some stuff. But in short, and no I haven't seen the film, I do feel there should be a profit motive, for truly innovative research requires big bucks. With such high risk, there must be great reward and I'm sorry, saving someone I love probably won't cut it for them. People I know and love need that sort of innovation so that they can stop preventing death and start finding a way to a cure.
