Well heck, my mistake, I just looked it up and found it was payware and
didn't look for a free distribution. o_O

A look at wiki reveals it includes Crossover Office and some sorta
download support. Why anyone would pay for these small features, I
can't say, but I have nothing against Linux for $$$. I almost
payed for a commercial Linux application, once, and may still do so.
Bottom line, no one is extorting buyers or dictating terms. It's
still choice. Much different than what RMS calls "jail made cool", as
he refers to the Apple Empire.

I really don't have a problem with someone using Linux as a base for a
commercial package because they've gone to the trouble to do all the
work making everything operate and be updated easily. The core code and
software will always be available for experimenters to fiddle with and
build their own distributions. ^_^
