[ox-en] Re: Selling Free Software

However, in practice this business model only works for
not-yet-existing software. The freedom to redistribute normally means
that you can download it from somewhere. It just needs someone who
finds it a good idea to put it to the Internet for free.
The boundaries are blury: There is more than 'software' or 'vapourvare', software evolves, needs maintaining, customization, etc. While anything but genuine development may fall into 'services', there are models that work with software-as-a-product, with added values in form of services, maintenance, and some other form of 'support'.
