I feel sorry for you. Let me help you with that huge burden and take that wicked voucher from you

You'll only put it towards an Xbox you don't really need

I've got a £100 Play voucher and nothing I can justify spending it on - why does that always happen with vouchers?

I'll give you a fiver for it.

Ordered! By the time I sell BF3 and some of my old Xbox stuff my total outlay won't be all that much. Yay

I met one of the richest guys in the UK, apparently. Still thought he was a bit of a knob.

I bought one of his books

You mean he sells books? For money? He doesn't give them away free?

if he followed the line he preaches to everyone else, he'd give his talks for free. In the street.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer...

...“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial.” A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies.
