Hi Adrian and Tim,
I don't think poverty or wealth changes the "utilitarian imperatives".
Why shoud it? :-)
So, how about:
"the open source model of software development and use is the only model of
intellectual property that is consistent with the ultilitarian imperatives which are
part of everyday life for most people."
Best regards,
Andrew
