      @silner Every time I read an article about !Linux that uses the word free in reference to how much it costs I die a little inside.

        @toksyuryel To most implementers, the price is the "free" that actually matters.

          @ceruleanspark It completely ignores that there's plenty of business to be had in charging money for your implementation =/ it's not like we're averse to paying for software, the Humble Indie Bundles prove that quite well.

            @toksyuryel The people who wrote that article (Wind River) charge money for their implementation.

              @ceruleanspark Which makes the usage of the term that way all the more frustrating to me.
