My boilerplate spiel when talking to journalists includes:

Anyone is permitted to offer distribution, customisation, or support of Free Software for a fee. This creates a free market where capitalism can work as intended, unhindered by monopolies or artificial restrictions.

Pointing out the commercial possibilities while pre-empting the MS/SCO claims that Free Software is a "Free Lunch", "communist", or "hippie-ish".
