I don't think that is necessarily true.  Boeing may very well care about
'free' as in 'freedom'.  I hope they are also willing to consider making a
voluntary donation and/or becoming a Debian Partner: see
<http://www.debian.org/donations> and <http://www.debian.org/partners/>.
Of course, you are welcome to use Debian GNU/Linux regardless.

They are free to charge whatever the market will bear for copies of Debian
GNU/Linux.  Of course, since anyone can compete with them, the market won't
bear very much.
