Martin had his toungue firmly in his cheek when he said that (i.e. he was making a joke) -- I think you can be confident that we've all noticed that Debian is both Gratis and quite good. That said, it is a fact that if you charge someone for something, they will almost always pay more attention (all other things being equal, and assuming they've not already devoted a decade or two of their lives to the free thing, in which case they're already paying attention). FWIW I thought this seemed like rather a good idea of Martin's.
