@bombastic bob - Re: Says it all
Sorry, Bob, but I'll have to pour some cold water on your argument.
So, you're trying to convince us that beyond shipping software in binary form, offering a link to download the source code you've just compiled and allowing user the same level freedom you benefited when using the FOSS code adds to the cost ? How about adding license compliance and forced activation mechanisms, SecureBoot and DRM extensions all for the end-user experience of course, are they all at no extra cost ?
By the way, nobody is forcing FreeBSD to add Linux compatibility into their OS.
One thing we both seem to agree is that making money out of software you don't have to pay for is a major cost benefit.
