Some people just balk at any form of payment where Linux is 
involved. It's 
usually a knee-jerk reaction as far as I can see, and the 
conversation about 
it pretty much always ends when I point out that the very first 
GPL'ed app in 
it's first public version could only be gotten from RMS himself 
and only if 
you sent a cheque first.
