As soon as you understand that the MorphOS price is not the result of economical consideration as would (have to) be with a business but simply what the developers believe is the worth of using their OS, you'll also understand that the difference between a company of individuals and a commercial business is not an irrelevant technicality, and that your message is clear but irrelevant. The MorphOS developers are surely aware that lowering the price significantly would convince a few more people to pay for the license, but they don't seem to care as it's kind of a symbolic price for them, not a market-driven one. Economically, the MorphOS team would have to ask for thousands of euros/dollars for a license, and nobody would buy. MorphOS, in its current form, is a product of love and dedication, not a viable product in terms of business, and lowering the price wouldn't make it one. Maybe the reason they do not give MorphOS away for free is that they are ignorant elitists who simply do not want more users ;-)
