It's still there. You can always get a Gnu/Linux (according to RMS) on the internet. Get a kernel, get all the apps and install your Linux from scratch. Then you don't owe anything to anybody. Maybe to the author of the HOWTO you may need to read before. You see, there is a difference between pure Linux and a distribution. You don't pay for Linux, you pay for packaging, for the installation programm, for the documentation and for the CDs and the box if you don't download. But you are the one to decide for you, which way you want it.
