So you make freedom available only for those who pay the highest price? -.-
I am bored with your arguments. People are used to pay more (much more) for better marketed hardware (think of Apple's). This hardware is intended for people who value freedom more than marketing and technological novelty. If you want to be free, you pay more -- software freedom is not recognized as a human right and that's why you have to make sacrifices for now (of functionality, of money etc)
This company (like any other company) is the only entity which can set its prices. They are not volunteers, they are a company. If you consider the price is to high, don't buy from them, write a blog post about your arguments and send it to them. Post the link here if you must. But stop wasting everybody's time (and stop annoying everybody) by coming again and again with the same arguments why the company is wrong to be for profit and sell expensive FAIF products.
We get it, you don't endorse them. But who cares about your endorsement. Start a Free Software (commercial) project of your own and prove everybody you are right, Free Software respecting hardware can be cheap and affordable. I am sure that will be true in the future, as our Free Software Movement will grow and win more battles.
Don't go against ethical doers or at least don't insist on this. Make a statement and become a doer yourself.
Please, you don't have to argue with me. Just admit enough is enough. You made your point. Go write a blog post and invite people to discuss the price issue on your blog. Is a win-win, I am sure you can see that.
