giving away the software
Free software has nothing to do with giving it away. From the start, the FSF has encouraged free software developers to charge for the software they write.
I agree, but when asked why Canonical gives away Ubuntu (the current new user favorite), one needs to be prepared to explain it. The same goes for most of the other big name distros that have both free to use OSs and paid support..
