    If it’s free, then why are we paying for it?

      I see what you did there… but freedom costs $1.05.

      I can hear ypu americanness from behind the screen darling.

      Free means freedom not “no payments” it takes huge money to develop and maintain software and infrastructures like these. So they need funding to survive.

        Sorry, I was writing that in Trump’s voice. I am an American who loves and contributes to open-source :)

          Plenty of people who (I assume) are smarter than Trump don’t understand that FOSS refers to freedom, not price. It’s not a very good term and I don’t like how widely used it is now.

        You sound like a smug a-hole.
