All the unwashed friends I know have never paid a dime for their Windows 
install.  It disheartens me, and they think I'm crazy when I pay for a boxed 
set of something I can (legally) freely download.  *shrug* call me crazy, but 
I like to see the developer get their just rewards.  I know I'd like to 
receive them if I were to put out a commercial (but GPL)  product.
