in any form.
Then why not books ?

Does that include the army’s plans to attack the enemy?
Does that include how much money I have in the bank?
Does that include the exact design for the next car from Nissan?
I would say, no. It is neither right not necessary for all knowledge to be shared amongst all people.

Although books do provide knowledge, the authors of the book do spend their time and energy to share that knowledge. So it's perfectly reasonable to charge money for the books. Having said that, there are some books which are published and made available for free.
I assume that you are probably working at some company and being paid for it. From one perspective you too are sharing your knowledge by spending time on the projects, but that doesn't mean you should be made to work for free. Ofcourse, it's your choice if you want to contribute for free, but that should ultimately be up to the individual. For example, I do spend time on open source projects. But that's my personal choice.
