Not a contradiction. If buying software:
- You can pay nothing, and get shit quality 'floss' progams.
- You can pay something, and get decent wholesome proprietary software.
If for some reason you decide to pay a programmer to improve the 'floss' programs:
- You can pay her the cost of buying a copy of similar proprietary software, and waste this money by getting almost no improvement on your 'floss' programs.
- You can pay her a great deal of money to improve the 'floss' programs so that she does a decent job of it and it's comparable in quality to the proprietary software.
