Since free software is not a matter of price, a low price doesn't make the software free, or even closer to free. So if you are redistributing copies of free software, you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money. Redistributing free software is a good and legitimate activity; if you do it, you might as well make a profit from it.

Free software is a community project, and everyone who depends on it ought to look for ways to contribute to building the community. For a distributor, the way to do this is to give a part of the profit to free software development projects or to the Free Software Foundation. This way you can advance the world of free software.

man who started GCC

GCC is a compiler that has 7.3 million lines of code (it's a big fucking deal) that is completely free, open source software

Hasn't really done anything useful since the late 90s when he stopped contributing to GCC

OP cannot wikipedia.

>>57065569
Not OP but hard to search wikipedia if you don't know the dude's name.
Either way, OP can't reverse image search and that's the real tragedy.

>>57064740
Why? You can charge money for free software.
