[chat] Re: chat


It is a place where you can voice controversial ideas which may not suit the majority of people and not be told "this is off-topic". Example: Comments like the following could result in some limited agreement on this list.

DistroX should be allowed to charge money for the work they do in creating a product. There exist too many Linux distributions. Fully-functional ISO's are preventing Linux companies to grasp the true potential (aka paying) market for their products. People undervalue the Linux OS and its applications when they demand a copy of a release for $30.00. There is nothing wrong with selling enterprise Linux products at ten times the price than the consumer product if the user conceives value in this. Paying customers should be receiving products and services while non-paying potential customers should not. "The pay-pay VS free-"free" Analogy": Some Windows customers expect to pay for support when they pay for commercial software. Some Linux customers expect free support with their purchase of the "free" Linux product.
