Re: That's what you get when software has to cost nothing

From my point of view, I have to buy a phone that needs an OS, if the phone comes with an OS, as far as I am concerned I have paid for the OS at the same time I bought the phone.

I have little choice so from my point of view the OS is not free, the phone maker may not pay Google directly for it but the cost of it being loaded to the phone is also built into the phone price. So again, it is not free for me and I don't see that Google or anyone else has the right to invade my privacy.
