Allow me the liberty of answering your question. I am not sure whether Mr.
Baskar offers the source for free to everyone. If he does, that shows his
generosity.
Anyone can get the source for free, possibly on Sundays @ my office (pl. bring
external storage
devices for getting them and don't request on optical media)
To follow licence terms of open source software, he just needs to provide
source code to those *who bought his server. *Not to everyone.
For those who buy the server, they get everything as per the open source
software licenses.
(softwares, source code, documentation). I remember that RMS did this way when
he started GNU project
by selling emacs on tapes for a few dollars. (RMS essays on Free Software, Free
Society is included in the server)
Efforts by Linux User Groups should be complimented by commercial offers
such as Linuxpert Academy for open source to thrive.
Every successful FOSS business, whether it's small/big thrives this way only.
S. Baskar
CEO/LinuXpert Systems
