Hi Roshan,

Hello :)

Ubuntu should be considered as a business in "Investment Phase", where business invests to create it's market share. I had a long discussion with Mark Shuttleworth on this when he was in India.

But its webpages and the CD-covers state that Ubuntu will be always free of charge (no money, free). So did he mean, that the software is going to cost money once, it acquires a greater market share?

This is termed as "Donation Economy". However, I am not in favour of such an economy. Such a economy is not sustainable over long period of time.

I too think how can it be sustainable. But, hasn't the FSF proved it to be?
