Even when linux become dominant, it will be exempt because (a) there is no
one company behnd it & (b) because it has always been free.

If there was one comp behind Linux & once it had got dominance/a
monopoly (at a "for free" price point) then it would be liable if
it tried to finish windows/MS off by actually giving it a negative price
(i.e. pay people to take it out of the store/ load it onto PC'es).
