Why do you keep pushing with ridiculous examples? Ubuntu makes money by allowing DELL PCs to sell computers with Ubuntu pre-installed. They're still making a profit. They are selling their product. They don't make money by allowing idiots like you download Ubuntu and think it's all run by people on good will that don't bow down to the might of corporations.

Ridiculous examples? You said that no company can give away their product and survive. I proved you wrong, ut you insist on being the clown in this debate. Trolling is what you are actually doing..
Ubuntu is free, thats its foundation, the product is free. Beyond that, the company making it can make money from donations, sales of CDs, sales of their products, marketing, etc. But that doesnt make the product non free, because its free, and that is what its all about..
I use Linux, you dont even know what it is, so why make yourself look even more like a US presidential candidate by making a clown of yourself, and using non relevant arguments?
Windows isn't a Corporation. Microsoft is a corporation. Why am I not surprised you wouldn't know that Windows isn't a company.
I am full aware of that, I was talking about the corporation behind Microsoft.. Are you so pettyfull that you cannot find better arguments like this? What are you trying to prove with that little pathetic stunt?
ROFL - What a complete idiot. We're talking about economics 101 here. In economics a product is something that created and sold. Keep up.
if you want to continue believing that, you can.. A product is what I gave you the definition for.
product: Definition, Synonyms and Much More from Answers.com
An effort produced a result, and if that is a thing, its a product.. You simply cannot understand the difference between a product and merchandize. This is irrelevant anyways, but if you want to debate in this silly American fashion, I will humor you.
ROFL - You can complain all you want. Wikipedia runs on people who pay for it. They make no money from being free. They simply don't. Wikipedia isn't a product. It's not sold to anybody. They are completely free and non-profit. Therefor every few months they beg their readers to send them money.
Wikipedia is definetley a product, something dont have to be sold top be a product, it have to be made. Wikipedia is the products of the efforts of thousands of people.
Why even try this with me silly French man? Do you not think I know what a product is?
You Americans keep talking about the French, perhaps its envy of their superior intellect, elegance and a superior society? Most Americans come off as primitive monkeys in any debate with a French, for sure..(wow, I am sinking to your level, slowly..)
Why do you continue to prove my point? Just go on Linux.com and you'll see that they provide a free version of Linux and yet their website is flooded with ad space. Why is this? Could it be that they simply aren't making money from something that is free?
You still have no idea what Linux is.. If you only knew what a fool you look like in this debate, then you would apologize for being so silly. Linux is not Linux.com, the page that represent Linux is
The Linux Kernel Archives
Linux.com is nothing but leechpage, who were lucky enough to buy the domain.
The music IS the product you complete buffoon. You don't buy a CD. You purchase music. You don't buy a canvas. You buy a painting. "The art" is what is being sold. Not what it was made on.
Sorry, this misunderstanding was actually my fault.. I meant, they avoid the companies who do things the wrong way, but still end up with the product..
LOL - You're an idiot. There is not a single successful society in modern on ancient times that has gotten by on freebies. Not a single one. It doesn't whether that society has the greatest thinkers in the world. There hasn't been a society that has gotten by on goodwill and offering free sh!t to people who can't afford it. There has never been a society in modern or ancient times that has allowed people to steal without repercussion. Not a single one. Your refusal to understand this silly fact of life just shows why you should never be hired by any company that intends of making a profit.
In most societies of the past, people killed other people to get by..
