I've just had a dream with RMS

"Richard, name one person who bought your software"
RMS does emotional tirade on free as in freedom
"Just one person, richard".
RMS gets a bit angry,starts to tell me how GPL is compatible with commercial software and there are enterprise users.
"Do you have to bring it all up? just name one customer who paid you"
RMS starts getting visibly upset, goes on tirade on GPL superiority and that it COULD be sold with source code.
"Your site sells plush toys, but no software. Is it that hard to sell?"
RMS gets red in the face, start shouting insults, telling me i'm an idiot and that that GNU site isn't meant to sell software.
"You could start an app store anytime, GPL is fine with selling code, you already sell stuff. How come ..."
Dream ends as RMS bodyslams me and trying to punch me.

Buying any product there goes to supporting communism

lol

Cute dream, OP.

FSF also makes money by selling manuals for its programs and computer tapes containing "free" software. Selling free software is not a contradiction, Stallman insists: People who buy the tapes are free to make copies of them and give them to friends, sell them at a profit, or sell support for the software.

One company that has done just that is the Palo Alto-based Cygnus Support, which has prospered selling support for GNU software to major corporations. In the last year, Cygnus has grown to 32 employees, moved to new offices in Mountain View, Calif., and opened a branch office in Cambridge, Mass.

But lately, things seem to have bogged down for Project GNU. Stallman learned long ago not to make promises about delivery dates. This winter, FSF will release EMACS version 19 – nearly three years later than originally planned. And the basic GNU operating system has been delayed for two years by Stallman's decision to base it upon the Mach microkernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University (university lawyers have spent most of those two years working out terms for the software license, said Len Tower, a member of the FSF board of directors).

Old news. They're at version twenty-something now. And it's nowadays written as Emacs, not EMACS.
