Selling Public Domain Text Works
Posted July 23, 2004 – 1:36 am by Yakov Shafranovich in TechnologyToday the 9/11 Commission published its final report. What is interesting is that over 500,000 copies of this report have been printed for sale at bookstores as well as for sale via the Government Printing Office. Except there is one catch - the text is public domain just like all other works produced by the US Government.
This just proves that selling free content and free software works.

You cannot sell something that is free, by definition. Rather, you sell a service for something that is free.
