| Great analogy, I can only give my personal thoughts as a response.
A great corporation was created giving the backbone for a lighthous scheme but to use this you had buy their scheme first.Then buy the lighthouse($1,000-$10,000) and pay monthly support fees.
Amazingly another entity (LINUX)was born that also gave backbone to the lighthouse scheme and it was completely free.A lighthouse could be created from it for free also but the installation instructions were very hard to find and often difficult to configure properly.So a few companies created a lighthouse and although technically free most could not get it to work.But the companies had a solution, just pay us to set your lighthouse up ($thousands$) and pay us a support fee to keep it working.
Free, well maybe so, but not like Linux was intended. My analogy follows:
Free Mercedes available brand new beautifull automobile with all options, amazing deal!!
To drive, operate, or use in any way you must pay a one time setup fee of $10,000 and purchase the support package for $2,000 per month forever. |
