Or sell it. People COULD just compile it themselves, but they won't. Free software != $0 price tag :)

I'm very much European, and live in Germany at the moment.
In niche media this idea is talked about a lot, and I've read some stories about it in mainstream papers/seen stories on the big tv channels. I suspect it will be a while before it's implemented, but it is getting traction. Just my .02€ :)
The fact that it's impossible to not have health insurance is a great deal when I decided to start a business. Thanks to that, the only immediate thing I need to worry about is paying my rent and bills.
With basic income, I would not have any barriers to starting a business. This reform would do so much good.
I live in a country where I know the language well to laugh with drunks in a bar, but not well enough to get a masters.
If one could get a college education from a distance in a language I know well, that would be amazing.
