As a consumer or customer I always look for a good deal. But I also like it when the company selling the product is making money off me - respectable profits when aggregated over all those customers like me. Otherwise I know it's probably too good of a thing that won't last. In the short term, Mandrake, SuSE, Lycoris etc. will benefit, but eventually they'll run into the same issues (well they have already).
I think one long term solution will be Linux distros with proprietary applications running atop a FOSS kernel + middleware base. Maybe a bit like Lindows, except not marketed by used car salesmen.
