That's an old myth.
Linux Libertine Open Fonts offers free Times Roman alternative
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently, Linux Libertine consists of more than 1,750 glyphs for Latin,
| Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets and their derivatives, including ligatures
| and kerning tables. Some work remains to be done on the italics, but the
| roman or ordinary weight is complete, as well as the bold and underlined
| weights. A set of small caps is in development, and a grotesque or sans
| serif font (one without serifs) is planned, but not yet available.

As well as a fallacy, whose root is the inability to grasp a fonts monopoly.
