It's "free as in free speech" not "free as in free beer".Good article -- I'm totally with ya on this one. :)carlies last blog post..<a href="http://www.carliefairchild.com/?p=66" rel="nofollow">Mine Were Erect</a> People ask me the same question all of the time — how does one make money with open source.
