However, you're preaching to the choir, we all here KNOW this
great product is free, and we have donated $$ to help further
the development.<br>
<br>
I think many of those guys on Spiceworks are heavily invested in
VMware and Hyper-V. When we mention Proxmox, they can't wrap
their heads around the fact that such a product can be free, so
they do their best to twist every bit of logical reasoning they
can.<br>

If someone could just add one single statement on the
subscription page, this will all go away, and you will see a
spike in the downloading of Proxmox VE and possibly the Mail
gateway.<br>

<pre wrap="">What they are alluding to on Spiceworks is that the cost of Proxmox VE as being
free is not prominent enough to warrant belief.
Here is what the overall sentiment is:
"...the wiki is written by volunteers or not kept up to date.

<pre wrap="">
That is complete nonsense. We monitor and update the wiki.

<pre wrap="">The only place that I
can find to download ProxMox VE says that you have to check the support site
to deploy and the support site says that you must be licensed. "

<pre wrap="">
'sotware license' and 'support' are different things.

<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Maybe a few wording changes on the subscription page, to restate that
"Proxmox is completely free to use." since that is the page they are referring to.

</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
Proxmox VE is licensed under GPL/AGPL. That is one of the most used software licenses.
Please read the license carefully instead.
