I'm generally anti business. But I have to disagree. "The Public" that the government serves includes businesses. Businesses (ignoring corporate personhood bullshit) are owned and operated by people.

I do not want the government deciding "what purposes" e.g. non-commercial, serve the public good. The public gets to decide that. (charging a license for commercial use is maybe ok (assuming supporting that use costs government "too much").

And I very do not want current situation with the government anointing a handful of corporations (the farthest thing from the public possible) access and denying everyone else including all of the actual public.
