	This is not true.  They can sell a copy of the library for any 
	price that the market will bear.  What they can't do is prevent
	anyone downstream from also selling or giving away copies.  Also,
	if the source code is not in the iniital sale, they can only 
	charge for its later supply on the basis of the true cost of
	copying and shipping it, not on the basis of development costs
	or a market price in the absence of such a rule.
