Taht is correct. I hear lots of Bashing of linspire becaseu of their
methods. But again I wil say "There is NO SUCH thing as a free Lunch"
IT takes Money to develop anytho9ng. an Operating System is NO
dofferent.
I am puzzled though. Did these same people crying about it should be
free ever read the GNU licence? OR how loud do they cry about Red Hat
and others that charge for their Distribution??
