- Various people have expressed skepticism about the public status of
- these fonts because of their high quality. I don't know the actual
- status and have not downloaded the fonts, but that reason --
- quality -- is a silly one to arouse such concern.

- One of the best C compilers (GNU) is free.
- Two of the best mail-readers (mh and elm) are free.
- The two best newsreaders (nn and trn) are free.
- Top-notch versions of most Unix-originated utilities (GNU) are free.
- Much powerful image-conversion and compression software is free.
- Some of the best communications software is free.
- Some of the best interpreted languages (perl) are free.
-
- I'll refrain from overgeneralizing from this or getting preachy,
- but certainly higher-than-normal quality would seem to suggest that
- the software is free, rather than the reverse.
