Journal Journal: F/OSS "Cheepo"?

Just a couple of minutes ago, I herd someone complaning about OO.o; That someone was my little sister. It was not an unusual thing, her being someone who gets mad at videogames for being too hard when she cant beat them, but what was said struck me hard. There were no specifics in the complaint, just "It doesnt work and I cant use it!", but when describing it to a third party, she said "He downloaded some cheepo freebie and I dont like it".

Cheepo Freebie. Is that how the general (Hapless techno-weenie) public thinks of the Open Source ideals that we work so hard on, and spend so much time thinking about and working on?
