There's nothing wrong with paid software. I'm happy to pay as long as it's free.

This is an interesting double entendre. Do you mean happy to pay as long as it has a permissive/OSS license and comes with source code or that the purchase price is zero, or both?

Genuinely not trying to be pedantic, just curious if you were being clever.

Although I have just meant "free as in freedom" above, it's not uncommon for me to pay non-zero amount for FLOSS with purchase price of zero as well.
