Nobody has a monopoly on the truth. Anonymous Common Law is legal code that is free to all people equally. It is all very well and good to have wonderful theories about how to make the world a better place. It is another thing entirely to get those theories funded to the point that they are self-sustaining. Although service-based companies were rare in the world of software products, there were many cases to study in other areas.
Common law is freely available to all who wish to use it.
One need not license a decision such as Roe v. Wade in order to use it for arguments. Indeed, the decisions, once made, and at whatever cost, are free to all. Yet for all this freedom, lawyers are among the most expensive professionals to be found. It is not just the act of prosecuting law that people value so highly. It is also the cumulative value of that prosecution.
