Although we're straying from the subject a bit, it's well known that a
free press and other democratic institutions help combat the threat of
famine. For more, please see Amartya Sen's writings on the topic. Sen
was inspired by the Bengal famine of 1943, which killed three million
people despite the fact there was adequate food supply in the area!
Nothing like this famine has happened in India since it became free of
British rule and has enjoyed some measure of democracy.
The analogy to software freedom should be obvious.
