I don't understand this attitude.

I can think of a litany of things in the past 12 months I've spend $100 or more on that I probably shouldn't have.




In principle, yes, but for some reason it really bothered me to have to give Apple $100 just to install some open source software on my iPad. I’d much rather have given that money to Nicolas who spent immeasurable effort trying to work around Apples silly restrictions to get a working shell environment onto iOS. Apple are the last people that deserve to get the money for this! It’s the moral issue, not whether spending $100 is a financial burden.


Just because you are spening less strictly doesn't mean everyone does, and in turn it doesn't weaken their argument.
