Lots of markets are well supplied and have prices that more or less follow costs.

And then there's businesses that do sell bottled air and people that do contract work or paid support on free software.

They're selling compressed air. That's added value.

They're being paid for a service, not the software.

But hey, I'm an enterprising man. Send me $100 and I'll send you a package with air in it and instructions for downloading free software.
