It's Not That Funny
When the software is free the M$ shills scream that it's comunist unamerican etc. But when someone is charging and making money it's, look how expensive it is.. can't have it both ways guys.

What some people are saying is that GPL type OSS is socialized software that threatens the software industry ? particularly if left unchecked. However, when challenged ably by proprietary software to compete on value, it is seen in fact to be more expensive than proprietary software to acquire and maintain.
