They are not really free - and they make money in a myriad of other ways as a multi-billion dollar corporation. As cover…

No one is ever forced to buy a copy. Choosing Zorin OS Pro is a means of supporting development, keeping the project going and getting some Goodies for doing so.

Zorin OS Core and Zorin OS Lite provide a Free Operating System that allows anyone, anywhere in the world, access to use of their computer and everything needed to do so.
