Free as in "Freedom". not free as in "Beer".

Not charging money for your product had NEVER been a requirement in open source. Most people just give out away and get their money from elsewhere because theoretically someone could just download the source code and compile it themselves.

My gut tells me that you're being satirical. But just in case...

"Free" as in Freedom, not "Free" as in Beer means that you are free to view, use, modify and distribute the underlying source code within the guidelines of whichever Open Source license that software falls under. It in no way implies that it is "Free of Charge/No Cost"
