I disagree - I think a few important points are being made

Idaya are charging for 1.4.10 - well they are charging for 'distribution'
which I think they are allowed to under GPL - the problem is most GPL is
also freely available for download as well as in 'distributed' format, I
think under GPL any one of us could package it up and charge for the
CD/distribution - but Idaya need to come clean about where they stand on
this because it looks like a commercial company with holding release of the
code so they can profit

I think those who have not purchased the CD yet are not with holding because
of the cost its simply no bloody use to them - we have absolutly no need for
a windows GUI and we have no need for a CD that has to be placed in a CD
tray 3500 miles away and then installed by a technician who's never seen the
damn thing before

What are future plans? Is there going to be a dual version of freevsd?
Commercial and GPL?
