Ok, "What is free has no value" seems to have ticked off some reactions.
Let's put it another way :
"if you give it for free, no one will think it has any value".
Look at the open source community : they've battled for YEARS before getting any results agianst microsoft !
It's only now that several companies like Redhat and Mandrake are actually selling their open-source programs, that these are getting some attention.
Of course what they're selling is not the software itself, but the service they provide : integration, security, etc...
Does anyone see a parrallel with Centerpointe here ?
Of course the Centerpointe CDs could be re-created for free by anyone with an ounce of technical knowledge. But you wouldn't be getting their support, which is the service they sell , which is extremely valuable in making the most of Holosync.
"What is free has no value" was not meant to be a moral statement, it's just plain old mass-market reality !
