Chris Anderson has some thought-provoking things to say about the
concept of "free", including several use-case models where free makes
sound profitable business sense in a free-market (no pun intended)
(all right...actually I couldn't resist it) economy.

Well, as a free-market economy doesn't really exist anywhere
(the successful players in the market bending over backwards
to restrict competition) that is probably rather theoretical.
A male tiger coming upon a female tiger with cubs, will kill
the cubs so as to bring the female into oestrus so he can mate
with her and secure his own genetic line.
Mind you when I try to visualise the likes of Steve Jobs and
Bill Gates as male tigers I split my sides laughing!
