Hi

I'm a bit confused here...

)+ the time taken to install it on an average machine.

Your use of value here is the same as the amount of labour
time used to produce, reproduce and maintain it? From you
prespective does labout time = value?

What about use value and exchange value? It appears to me
that free software has next to no exchange value yet
almost infinite use value.
