In any case, for ~US$69 I got the latest version of PowerPack and the right to download the next version too. And I can install it on as many machines as I like. It's still a "steal" compared in Windows.

That's right "free as in freedom" is the Linux way. If people hadn't stood up for that principle you wouldn't have any Linux. You wouldn't have any GPL'ed software. You like to reap the benefits of their dedication but refer to them dismissively as "zealots"....

I'll gladly accept and appreciate software anyone wants to distribute freely. You can simply place your code in the public domain without a copyright. Zealots would reject such a gift merely because it doesn't conform to the GPL's copyleft dogma, however. The hacker ethic isn't enough for them, they have to advance their political agenda too. And that's why Linux isn't #1 as it should be.
