Tell your clients you are selling the service (installation, troubleshooting, ... consulting) for a $1000. The software is free. I don't think anyone can legally sell something which is free for everyone. However, you can charge the media (the CD) for $1000 if you like. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Moline Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 04:28 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Copyright and Payment > > Is it legal to sell FreeBSD for money ($1000?) to customers without > > telling them it's free before they pay?
