This from the same man who said that Linux is popular
with the longhaired unwashed because "it was free":

  Linux is popular among the long-haired, unwashed, geeky 
  community and as a cheap server O/S. Exactly why it's popular 
  are for 3 reasons:
  1. It's free (many of the long-haired and unwashed geeks 
  don't have jobs).

Seems even consultants aren't averse to free as in no-cost.

As a long-haired unemployed type who has not yet had her
shower today, I'll point out that "free" to a lot of us
does not mean "stuff I can pirate".
