Pricing Free Software

,----[ Quote ]
| GNU TOOLCHAIN: $600.
| 
| GCC (GNU COMPILER COLLECTION): $250.
| 
| GNU OPERATING SYSTEM: $800-$1200 - complete and using a GNU kernel.
| 
| LINUX KERNEL: $300.
| 
| GNU/LINUX: $1000-$1500.
| 
| Much more free software is worth a pretty penny, but, the software we listed 
| above is free software. Free software is something that has to exist, and 
| thankfully it does. So we don't have to pay a cent for this software, and we 
| are free to do with it as we please, excluding AVG. Free software should stay 
| free, the GNU General Public License (GPL) helps with that. If you're a 
| software developer, please consider releasing your source code under the GPL 
| or something like the GPL.      
| 
| With that being said. It's possible for our prices to be biased, because of 
| the positive impression they have for letting us be free, to use, modify,  
| redistribute, and even sell the software. 
| 
| And, the price we would pay for free software may not be what you would pay 
| for free software, this article is our budget for such software. Please feel 
| free to leave a comment with what you would be willing to pay.
