Exactly, everyone *needs* a house to live in, it has a clear 'use value'.
What capitalism does is turn it into a product of 'exchange value' and an assets that increases in value due to scarcity.
But we don't *need* landlords. My landlord didn't built the flat I live in, they don't even pay for the maintainance (my rent does). Were they to dissapear in a puff of smoke, the only difference to my life it would make, is it make it substantially better.

Introduction to Dialectical Materialism. I like how they explain Marx's definition of communism as not being a static form that you can reach, it's part of why, counties governed by communist parties don't regard themselves as having achieved communism. But rather communism is:
“the real movement which abolishes the present state of things” (Marx & Engels, Marx-Engels Collected Works, Volume 5, 2010, p. 49).
I like how they compare this to Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower

All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
Is Change.

@aral I like that you stipulated "share-alike" rather than open source, I think this highlights an important distinction between copyleft licences and permissive licences like BSD and MIT, that, as you put it, "if you benefit from technology that has been put into the commons, you must share back"
