   2) Such a scenario does not, however, address the ``extra'' something
      that all software purchasers desperately need: support, updates,
      documentation, and maintenance.

      Notice that the above are not supplied uniformly with gnu products:
      documentation is a joke and support is on a ``pretty please'' basis.
      Updates come very regularly and maintenance has also been very good---
      three cheers for the authors and support personel who make such
      distribution work!

      The gods of the FSF have envisioned that such services should/would
      be sold---hackers have to make a living---but such sales would
      be direct application of programmer effort, not hoarding of software.

These services ARE in fact now being sold.  Various people in the SERVICES
file of the emacs distribution offer this as individuals.  Also Cygnus
Support was formed for exactly this purpose.  We provide commercial
support for free software.

If you want commercial support, give us a call at +1 415 322 3811.
