Yes. But those times is was the only platform with an Open Source
server software. That was important for me and still is.

I have no problem paying for software I like. I'd pay up to 10 USD for
an Open Source SuperDateTime (or a similar weather report) that works
on my Squeezebox Touch. But I dislike "licensing"-software or "license
keys" because it always means Closed Source with all its implications.
I cannot imagine license enforcing software that is Open Source.

We use Linux at home and there is no need to use commercial software.
So indeed, we don't pay for software (and don't have any pirate
copies).
