I'm a Linux user and supporter of free software and I certainly want source code for my software. I'm quite happy to pay for it, though (and I do believe it or not). Not a lot of games offer source code, though, which is a shame. I've bought several games simply because they offer source code and I want to encourage it. I've bought a few games that don't offer source code as well (the only such software on my computer). It's a bit frustrating seeing facile comments like these both conflating the "free as in beer" vs "free as in freedom" as well as implying that those who care about "free as in freedom" are just a bunch of deadbeat freeloaders. You can imagine how insulting it must feel to be tarred with such a brush when it is completely untrue (at least in your specific case). If you want to make a statement about a population, at least back it up with some evidence. Do you have access to any studies showing that people using free operating systems are unwilling to pay for software?
