I'll glady buy CD-ROMS and pay extra instead of hosing my T-1 during a sup. What about sup subscriptions? WC has this incredibly fast machine that could support sup via subscription. FreeBSD still remains free, but the easier ways of getting it require a little extra money. Kind of like buying media from GNU vs. downloading. On another note, it is interesting that people who use free software demand "rights". Strange.
