Herb,
If your going to attempt to make an analogy then at least try to make a
relevant one.

First of all, BSD is free, except for the time it takes to get it and 
load it, so if you don't like it get another OS.

Second, The car sells man has nothing to do with the design and production
of the automobiles he's selling, Do you see the non-connection or must I
help you further?
