Re: [Trisquel-users] [OT] Charging for source code

[jason]

As gnu.org mentions this opens the possibility that someone might charge one  
billion dollars for their source code, calling that "reasonable and  
affordable" (to use your words) because of all of the blood, sweat and tears  
that went into it. They theyn get to pretend that their program is free while  
it really isn't. So, really it's not a good model because of the potential  
for abuse - Don't get me wrong: Feel free to charge people money but that  
should really give them access to both the program and source code both.
