As have been stated several times, - it costs serious money to make the newsletter. The freedom that you get with free software is free speech not free beer.

I would be more than willing to suscribe to LWN (of course, depending on the price). I don't understand the people that will not pay for this great newsletter. It's probably because people are used to everything on the net to be free. This is not much different from subscribing to a paper edition of any other computer magazine. Just because they write about free software, it doesn't mean the content should be free.

If LWN is able to survive by limiting the weekly edition to subscribers only, then do it!

And please keep the credit card payment option. Some people seem to forget that the internet also exists in the rest of the world. We more or less don't have any other options than to pay with our credit card!
