Hm. That example is entertaining and creative, but not really consistent with the actual viewpoints of the FSF[0]. Choice statement: > Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise funds for development. > Don't waste it! Redhat is a good example of a company doing well distributing free software and making money doing it; it's just that the typical shrink-wrap license business model doesn't fare so well when copying and modifying the distributed program is allowed and protected. Also, I don't mean to implicate that you share beliefs with the OpenBSD people, since you are merely reporting on their position -- accurately, in my mind. But I thought this is an interesting bit of related information for the discussion. [0]: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
