I think the point is, that PSI "takes" what they sell from the rest of us.

Would you be happy if something you published were put in an anthology of
unix security articles and sold... and you didn't get a cent. Even though
you had said this information could otherwise be freely distributed? Wouldn't
it get your dander up if someone abused your generosity this way?

TANSTAAFL is right... but you've got it backwords. It's PSI that's trying
to get the free lunch.
