Comment Open Source is not Free (Score 1) 742

I really don't understand why people assume open source software as free? You pay for everything. Difference is only pay directly or indirectly. One way is directly: I'll give you the money, you'll give me this product. Another way is indirectly: I'll pay big taxes and students will have big enough scholarship to spend their time working on some student open source project. Or I'll buy hardware and company spend some amount of revenue for some open source projects. Or companies build commercial products based on OS projects and spend some revenue on OS projects, to improve their products.
