This is a great point, well said and does not deserve a single downvote. The problem is that you disagreed with the primary constituency of nix lovers around here. It should not be done on a highly visible thread if you value your karma. Offering free software is only a crime when Microsoft does it. I find it laughable that these people typically support new tech, they back all sorts of non-open source projects and questionable schemes like growth-hacking when it suits them, but when it comes to Microsoft they just love to hate. (EDIT: I personally don't give a hoot, so downvote away Micro$oft haters ;)
