I meant "free" as in no source. Free with source is much less risky than basing a licensed product on "free" products without source control.
Here's the part I have never figured out, but I guess I'm just a little slow. We are software developers as professionals. In day to day life we accumulate obligations to others. We pay these obligations with the fruits of our labor. Last time I checked, the fruits of our labor is software. Now just where in the hell does "free" enter into this thing? The captains of our industry, yes that includes "Mister Linux" as well, will sue your b--- off if you cross them. I think they have figured out the basic realities of business, especially the software business. It seems a great number of others are still working on the "belief in mankind" principle. Like we say in Texas, "Trust everyone, but brand your cattle."
