Let's try and bring this back to the original example. If WordPad cost money who would use it and not one of the much more robust competitors?

- ben-schaaf 3y agoIt does cost money. Windows licenses aren't free.
- emodendroket 3y agoElectricity and computer hardware costs money so therefore no software is free and we can wrap up the whole discussion.
- bitvoid 3y agoThat's a false equivalency and you know it. When I pay for electricity and computer hardware, that money doesn't go to any software developer. When I pay for a Windows license, that money goes to Microsoft who maintain WordPad.
- emodendroket 3y agoNo, I don’t think it is. They’re throwing in something for free when you buy Windows.
