Most likely true, when they get better UI and easier installations, etc, etc. I just hope I'm retired before this happens because I plan on making money by selling proprietary software.

I was thinking about this Free Speech not Free Beer. Which means I could sell the software correct? Then I could allow you to change the code, the only problem is distributing it freely. Because, basically that means I would sell one copy, and no one else would buy it. I don't see the point, Free Speech not Free Beer. But with Free Software everyone gets it free except for the very first person to purchase it, correct. Or do I have some information wrong?

The English word "free" is a confusing word because it can have two meanings: "free" as in freedom (free speech) and "free" as in no cost (free beer)
Free software is about giving everyone the freedom to study, change, and distribute copies of software. You may still sell free software, although the price usually isn't huge like proprietary software because there is no copyright monopoly. Look at Red Hat, they sell GPL software combined with support services for thousands of dollars. But you have the freedom to take the program and give it to your friends, or to study the source code or teach people with it. I payed 80 bucks for my copy of red hat linux 7, which is all free software.
