Can someone explain the title? Quoting in case the overaggressive title changer happens to stop by: Vim is certainly worth more than 100 euro (vim.org)

I think the OP is trying to suggest that the lower limit of 100 euro to get into the Hall of Honour is much too low.

The monetary value of a copy of free / open source software is effectively zero, provided that at least some people are distributing it without restrictions and free of charge such that it is readily available.

Let's say VIM didn't exist right now. Could you imagine selling it for 100 euro?
