Will Canonical make linux users pay?
The Linux user has a reputation as a group that doesn't like paying for things. That stereotype may or may not be fair, but either way, it hasn't stopped Canonical from introducing more than a dozen for-purchase software packages to Linux users over the last 10 months. Here's a look at what the company has done, and what it says about Linux users in the open source channel.
It might be hard to believe, now that the Software Center has assumed such a central role in Ubuntu for adding, removing and maintaining software applications for Linux users, that back in the day – until 2009, to be exact – the Software Center didn't exist at all.
So if you are a Linux user who till now had things for free, maybe its time to empty your pockets a bit .
