Bullshit. Because this "price" would be payed only once. 9999 would
license the BSD licensed kernel for $ 25.000 from you.

"Fighting for one's political stand is an honorable action, but re-
fusing to acknowledge that there might be weaknesses in one's
position - in order to identify them so that they can be remedied -
is a large enough problem with the Open Source movement that it
deserves to be on this list of the top five problems."
