Sorry for being thick/ignorant (delete as appropriate) but I do not
understand this at all :-(  What is wrong with a tutorial if one has
to pay for it?  Isn't most education paid for in some way or another?
What about books?  Are links to books not allowed as they are not
normally free (I'm not counting the freebies like the kernel hacking
one that is available as a free download).

Correct me if I am wrong but if one cannot access a website without
paying for a subscription then the link simply will not work.  Or is
that what you mean?  In which case I wholeheartedly agree :-)
