I haven't given any real thought to this, but maybe in terms of regulations, we should think of free software products as another kind of price dumping. It's essentially price dumping down to zero.
- gowld 6y agoDumping is different from bundling, but the boundary is fuzzy. Dumping is an unsustainable business practice that cripples competitors before raising prices to sustainable levels. Bundling isn't bad if its price is higher than cost and it's cheaper for customers than unbundling.
- hnick 6y agoI've had similar thoughts but free software is so pervasive. Would this apply to stuff like Foxit Reader, 7zip, or Discord? It might be really hard to draw the line.
