"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech', not as in 'free beer'."

When someone buys a new computer they do not pay separately for Windows. It's combined with an OEM license in the price of the system as a whole. It is highly rare for someone (the average Bob) to buy a Windows license on it's own.
