- Folks, this has been discussed too often already (only two months ago we had
- this in Germany, and I can't remember how often in the net as a whole).
- Please remember that anybody may, without acting unethically, offer anything
- at any price (s)he sees fit, as long as people are not forced to buy,
- or cheated into buying.
- And all of us are free to offer Linux at the same or a cheaper price.
