That's true. On the other hand, having a support contract for something
sure helps some times.
I remember having a problems with multiple interfaces on a Solaris box,
and I bugged the technical until they solved the problem since 3Com had
a contract with them, and they couldn't just ignore me. :-)
But having said that, I don't use any non-DFSG[1] free software anymore,
except mpg123 and Netscape to browse a few pages a day, because I enjoy
being able to use quality software on my computer without having to pay
and being able to screw around with the source.
