Isn't it amazing how the users of free software always want the V.I.P. 
treatment?  If they have to pay for it, they understand that the team are 
giving value for money.

In the same vein, my wife pre-packages medication for hostels for half the 
recommended fee (the current effective charge is about AUD$4 per person per 
week.) That saves the hostels the wages of two qualified nurses.  But for 
their $4, they want the complete service with every piece of paperwork, for 
which the recommended charge is about double.
