Not bad really - if you consider some of the licensing fees for Cray
or the old SGI Irix.  It says for "your computing platform" so I guess
it would be a viable option for those type systems.  Definatly
overkill for x86 :)  Aside from raising funds for FSF, you are paying
for the work, and not the software anyway, since you could build it
from source yourself.
