But that's not what I meant.
I am just saying it is pointless to put a price tag on GPL software.
Well of course if you buy the CD then it isn't just the software you
are buying for, you are paying for the CD itself and the service of
burning the software on the CD. But the software itself it essentially
cost of nothing.
