Think of it as charity.  The truly needy can get free food and
clothing.  The people who are well-off have to pay.  (And pay
dearly, some would say.)  That doesn't change the fact that the
food and clothing are there for those who really need them.

Most of the folks partaking from the GNU soup kitchen don't
_look_ indigent.  But when it comes to shelling out six figures
for a UNIX source license, most of us realize we aren't as
well-off as we look.

Should a restaurant owner be allowed to go to a soup kitchen, get
free food, and sell it?
