Forsooth! So does everyone else, be that bundled with iron or CDs or a
smile on the sales agent's face.

RedHat though do a lot of work with the money they earn. It is good for
us that their products defy normal competitive economics. (baring in
mind risks and insurances etcetera)

Linux, like so many commons, has just becomes a part of everything. The
economic value of it is so staggering that you would not and possibly
could not pay out it's true economic impact. Thankfully we don't pay
what the value of things to us, we hope to pay a bit less than that.
