And?  What's your point?  Lots of Linux software is pay-for....
particularly top tier commercial release software.  The Humble Bundle
Games are not free... X-Plane is not free... VariCAD is not free...
SLED/SLES is not free.... the list of commercial/pay-for software for
Linux is rather big.

If you want a free flight simulator, then look at Flightgear - while
an excellent flight sim on its own, it doesn't come anywhere near
X-Plane in any feature or aspect.  If you're into flight sims, X-Plane
is the best available (it's used in professional flight training
simulators, including ones that are FAA certified).
