Linux for small business

[Tom Achtenberg]

I don't follow your analogy at all.  Free Software Movement seems more to
have the attitude of "I shouldn't have to pay for anything" where shareware
at least was "try it and if you like it pay for it."  One has a chance of
putting food on a programmers table and one does not.  Just like the
communes of the 60's, FSM sounds good but is not realistic or practical.

Free software is free as in free speech, Shareware is free as in free beer.

Big difference.
