I consider the check box yes/no "I will be making assignments.." a fig leaf at best. You can see my reasoning on the topic of need here:

I don't quite see how this reasoning is relevant to the proposal and discussion about it that we've had here in this WG. There are a few strawmen there on which you seem to base your reasoning (profiteering, free-market philosophies, Ayn Rand, invisible hand …), but I don't recognize them in what we've discussed. Your blog post from 2011 therefore seems at best somewhat off the mark. As a fairly fresh member of the list, I would therefore find it far more useful to understand your objections if they came in context of the discussion we've had, rather than other people's hypothetical arguments. -- Jan
