Cost ?,,, well its about time some one makes a little money,,..
Hi everyone, I have been quite bizzy for a the last few months, it
seems that we have aquired a few bread and butter accounts that require
alot of "hand holding" I still try and read the list emails, and this
morning I see somthing about someone who is not happy with the cost of
FreeVSD. I feel that it is our God give right to complain, and im sure
we all do, I know that if we had spent a year or more
creating/developing GPL / OSS Software, that we would want to recoup
that cost quickly.
My Hat is off to those who get paid for what they do, its only fare.
Regards,
Kevin Druet
