People who demand something for nothing will be limited in the products and support they get.
Again, you along with so many others do not understand the Open Source concept. The mindset of "getting something for nothing" is the jargon of American Big Business, it has little or nothing to do with quality, value, support, security or anything else.
You would do as well to read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"
i strongly suggest everybody talking 'bout open software to read that ! also "homestanding the noosphere" is of interrest ! they all should avoid statements like "for nothing" unless they have read at least these two articles ! otherwise they should avoid any statement about the quality, support etc. of open software, because unless they readed it they won't know the truth 'bout open software et all.
