So in this latter case of FLOSS, you pay no $, but you get very great / significant freedoms.
more like you pay $0 AND you get very great benefits APART from not giving money to the worst scum on the planet, govcorp and its 'intellectual property' racket. if it wasn't a tragedy, the fact that a company like microshit is 'worth' 1 TRILLION dollars would be infinitely hilarious. In reality microshit being 'worth' 1 TRILLION dollars means that 1 TRILLION dollars of value HAS BEEN DESTROYED . the completely deranged 'market capitalization' of softwre mafias like microshit, crapple, google-nsa, amazon-nsa etc etc is a direct measure of how much economic DAMAGE they have caused. this might seem like preaching to the choir but actually more than a few people on this list have have made comments supporting 'intellectual property'
