It costs $75 for an individual license, not really in the spirit of UNIX

Eh, I think it’s a fair price, a. And b, pretty apt when you consider most Unixes were priced per core. BSD/OS itself was $1000 back in the day, according to my research, which was cheaper than System V, but obviously still expensive.

Linux was created for a reason.

And here I’ll refrain from making a snarky remark about how someone should make a similar font that is lower quality but will be way more popular.
