Buy a Flash Drive with PAM already installed?

I bought a new flash drive recently (Corsair Flash Voyager GT) and when I plugged it in, I was surprised to see that it came with TrueCrypt.
Which is nice, I mean, but I wasn't expecting them to bundle freeware with their drives.

Maybe this could be an opportunity for John, having his PA Suite bundled with brand new flash drives. I'm sure there are some competitors of SanDisk who would appreciate having an alternative to U3 to put on their drives.

But there might be some problems though. He would have to contact the makers of the software he made portable, and ask their permission. Maybe give them a percentage of profits that he gets or something.

I don't know if this is viable, but it sounds like a pretty interesting Idea.

Well.

I'm fairly sure I've heard him already talking about it in another thread.

If John does not seek profit from this then

There would be no need to seek permission.

That is true.

But I think this might be a good opportunity to earn some money for his work on PAM.

but who knows, maybe he would be better off distributing it for free. This way, he'd get more recognition, as companies would surely go for it, since it won't cost them anything.

Yup, it will even appeal more to companies

if John offers paid support

Yea.

Now more that I think about it, it's like Ubuntu, they'll give you it for free, they'll even give you free documentation and the forums, but if you wish, you can buy commercial support. Good idea Ryan!
