Open source is not a religion and doesn't follow the same principles. Also, open source has never been free nor was it the main reason it existed. I really think you're confusing OS with FOSS here because all of your points are valid for FOSS but not open source.

Now you're getting semantic. Stopping conversation here as I get the impression that you're arguing from trying to win over trivial points vs honest discussion.

I'm well aware the difference and it doesn't change anything here.

My argument is not entirely that everything at all times should be free. Therefore for you to focus on this is not a good use of our time. Points have all been made. I don't have much else to say. I'm done here. Have a good one
