- wmf 18y agoCounterpoint: Price discrimination allows people who can't afford the full version to buy the crippled version. Joel had an entertaining Yegge-long post on this topic: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckies.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie... Of course, you can't even have that discussion with FSFers, since they're interested in freedom at any cost. Also, price discrimination does not apply if the vendor only sells the crippled version (as with many DRM systems).
