The analogy fails because public property, unlike software, can not be infinitely replicated.

If i sell public property you are deprived of your original property.

If i take free software, add non-free components and sell my non-free components then I have not taken anything from the people, they still have their free software and are still free to use it.

Someone making money doesnt mean someone else somewhere must be deprived of wealth. Money/wealth is not a zero sum game.
