The profit motive is just that: a motive, as in motivation. Take that away and innovation as well as creativity cease. The free enterprise system has centuries of success stories. There is never a reason to prohibit profiting.

True...but keep in mind that simple montary profit is not the only motive. A company earning a ton of good will is a motive unto itself, as well.

No it is not. Not at all. A company looking to make profit is not going to do anything for free. Good will is not a motivator on this scale in the business world, money however is. What about all the employees said company has, and their families? Stockholders? They should all sacrifice for people halfway around the world who refuse to learn that wouldn’t lift a finger for us? Nope nope nope nope nope double nope nopers nah no nope.
