    Why would we want to do this when we can get it for free?

You can get the source and the binaries for some systems
for free together with the support from the folks from the
list and also sometimes patches and fixes :-).
I can imagine that customers want to pay for the software
and for support if they need it (e.g. a problem must be
fixed in 24 hours).
