That's basically my entire point. Of course company B gets to have lower prices, since they're not spending money on building the product.
- sneak 7y agoWriting free software does not give one a monopoly on offering a service based on that software, naturally. That's the entire point of free software. If company A's entire business plan is based around the fact that it's impolite to do that after company A spent that money up front, they're going to have a bad time. That model is dumb to undertake if your lunch can be eaten if someone comes along and differentiates only on price of service.
