Hi, I have written an article on how People misunderstand the Concept of FREE in Free software.
http://www.dhayfule.com/how-is-free-software-misunderstood/ Comments and Reviews invited. A paragraph from that article: Free Software in terms of FSF means a Software that is Free to use, > distribute, modify and share with the world without the Fear of someone > questioning you. So this Free actually means FREEDOM. In terms of price, the > Software License would not Cost you. So the free of charge applies here, in > terms of Software License. No CD Keys or Serial Numbers involved. > > However you indeed cannot expect the Services for Free. Such services > cover: > > - Distribution Media such as Internet, CDs/DVDs and other Storage > Devices > - Efforts and Consultancy involved in Customizing the Free Software > - Costs involving the technical support services, such as Installation, > troubleshooting, etc. > > All these services indeed are not Free of charge. > Regards -- Pravin Balaji Dhayfule Director - Dhayfule Enterprises www.dhayfule.com
