the fact that you can legally get a free copy of a distro of linux doesn't mean that you (or someone else) can't sell copies of it. In fact, the companies of linux (SusE, RedHat, etc....) make money selling thier OS with technical support, big manuals, etc... They also earn money when they say conferences, etc... Sumarizing: Just what raceprouk said....

yes, of course, however both are programs designed and developed by people. The fact that they're or aren't free or that you can or can't see its code has nothing to do with if they're good or not.
