Can't understand - where did you see that "free lunch" in my message?  
:(
Where did I say it, eh?

IMHO, the distro I describe can be successfuly sold. For ca. 20-30 bucks.

A lot of companies in Russia *pay* for say that 1C/likewise financial soft. 
A big part of these financial programs require MS Office for work.
Why it is not OpenOffice.ru?
Why you cannot imagine them payng for ALT Linux Financial edition...  

The water does not flow under the lying stone...

Why, e.g. you cannot try to talk with Parus makers- maybe RAS will 
cover, at least in part, the costs of migration of that Parus under Linux? 
And then, if you settle the proper conditions, you will be sell that 
ALFE(Parus) to other folks?

I wonder... Maybe I do not know enough about commercial software 
development ... :(
