Charging for GNU/Linux is not the answer
,----[ Quote ]
| Another danger of getting into the pricing bun-fight is that it is clearly
| Microsoft territory. They would probably love it if free software started to
| try and compete on their terms. The scary part of free software for Microsoft
| is that it doesn’t compete on their terms — it tells users that those terms
| are wrong and unfair and it offers an entirely different approach. That
| approach — giving freedom to users (and thus preventing them becoming
| blind-consumers — is what scares Microsoft and their compatriots. They can’t
| compete with it — this why all their opposition comes in other forms:
| patents, “intellectual property” and good old FUD.
