Element Starter is a game-changer, offering a free (as in beer) self-hosted version of Element Server Suite.Does Element not realize how stupid it is to market your software like this?
The term "free as in beer" in a software context, as opposed by "free as in freedom" was popularized by the free software movement.
Do they not realize that "free as in beer" is a bad thing in this context?
