How often does one pay for free/libre software? Unless choosing to send a voluntary contribution to a project, which is not the same as paying in my eyes, it sure has not happened to me in over 25 years when it was easier to order a set of CDs than trying to download the ISOs on a 56k modem.
I do not get this even I started using vim over 25 years ago. Is this just about the shared name? Why are they placed in an upside down triangle?
