      Not communicating that there are alternatives to their services?

      I don’t really think it’s their responsibility to spoon feed alternatives to their customers; they’re not being anticompetitive, they’re not being deceptive, they’re not blocking alternatives.

      I think your requirements here are unfair and kind of irrational

          So what’s your issue then? Zorin has a free version that people can opt for if they want

                Because I believe not doing so is exploiting people that don’t know better.

                If it wasn’t then there wouldn’t be a problem with being upfront about it.

                  Okay, I guess I simply disagree that it’s their responsibility to tell other people there are alternatives to their service and I don’t think any other software vendor is beholden to such a requirement either.
