This is a misnomer that I have to counter every day in Corporate consulting
work - "FREE" is as in FREEdom, NOT FREE as is $0.00. To quote the GNU web
site "``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand
the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in
``free beer.'' "
Money "can" be made on both software and support. You can legitimately sell
"free" software - see the link on the following page.
