EZblue Linux server makes administration easy

Why on earth would anyone pay for this when it's available for free at http://contribs.org ?

This has full professional support and is aimed at those who have no idea what they are doing in setting up or administrating a server. You aren't one of those who suggest that the office manager who knows nothing of servers should stop what they are doing and demand they learn to admin a Lamp Stack are you? ;-)

while it is not necessary in Linux, The Magellean Desktop in windows is pretty slick...although I haven;t challenged that Windows side of it with this free one. they've sold a buttload of them and I am guessing that those who don't have a budget for a server admin will find this a cheap enough alternative.

I dunno, perhaps because once the 30 days is up a user is supposed to pay for a license? Simply having it freely downloadable doesn't give someone the right to bypass their license.

However, I could be missing something in their licensing that does allow the proprietary bits to be shared with anyone you wish. Is that the case?

Or do you mean why should we pay $25 for a copy of the source code for the open source parts? In that case, I fully agree. ;)
