No offence, but I think this reveals a high level of ignorance
concerning Free software (as defined by the GNU project). The work of Richard
Stallman on free software "is motivated by an idealistic goal: spreading
freedom and cooperation."[1] For RMS, it is not a question of marketing. You
might want to read about the philosophy behind the GNU project
(http://www.gnu.org), especially on how Free software differs from
Open source.
