Sorry about that top posting Kenneth. I didn't intend it, it just happened. So accept my sincere apologies. About the content of the mail, my point was to rest the case and move on to subjects of higher interest. I had subscribed to ILUG-Delhi to participate in technical discussions and become aware and if possible spread the message of Software Freedom. So correct me if I am at the wrong place. The last time we discussed anything remotely related to FOSS was 3 days back when Niyam had posted some links. So my urge to the community was to have more and more discussions on Linux and Open Source rather than taking every topic to all sorts of absurd electronic warfare. Also, we really don't care what goes on in Redmond. So whether Mr W H Gates found it from a trash bin or from his backyard, it really doesn't matter.

Just because a software is FOSS doesn't mean that anything prevents you from selling it. Of course, usually you won't be able to sell it since your potential client could just download it from the 'net, or get it free by other means. However, if she can't, or is willing to spend money on FOSS for any other reason it is perfectly legitimate and legal to sell her any FOSS package or distribution, and to charge any amount that she is willing to pay. Some licences like the GPL force you to provide source code for a nominal fee along with binaries at the user's request; however, that nominal fee applies to the source code, not to the binaries -- there is no limit on how much you can charge for the binaries. In short, not being able to sell FOSS is a limitation of the market (no one wants to buy it), rather than some intrinsic limitation in FOSS itself.

How did you presume or assume that I don't contribute to the FOSS movement. Who gave you the whole right to say its nonsense. I sincerely and seriously believe that history teaches us lot about values and the way things are. For me this was news when Bill G. confesses he didn't pay for his source-code when he preaches others to pay as license-fees for a certain Operating System. If I am advocating a certain value-notion to other people I need to know what other value-systems and actions are happening. That's an obligation I have to people to whom I am advocating a certain value-system. Otherwise how do I tell to people why or how free software not just the program but as a philosophy is needed. Why having GPL or any of the copyleft licenses (may they be permissive or reciprocal but is irrelevant to the topic here) are needed at all. I don't use F/OSS because commercial software (read: Windows) sucks. I use it because F/OSS is simply much more usable and leverages more power to me. The F/OSS movement never had such atrocities on its agenda, and I advise you to refrain from it also. Concentrate on the positive side. I also use FOSS for pretty much the same reasons as well. PS: Bill Gates did not get the source code of Windows from a trash bin. Study legitimate computer history for proof. hmmm.. I got the sources from a blog post which says about a bbc interview. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7464074.stm While I haven't seen the full interview but if they cut that segment, I'm sure one would find the same somewhere or the other.
