Imagine trying to explain FOSS to this fucking administration.
If it's free, then why are we paying for it?
I see what you did there... but freedom costs $1.05.
Freedom isn't free as in beer?
I can hear ypu americanness from behind the screen darling.
Free means freedom not "no payments" it takes huge money to develop and maintain software and infrastructures like these. So they need funding to survive.
You sound like a smug a-hole.
Sorry, I was writing that in Trump's voice. I am an American who loves and contributes to open-source :)
