    From Markus Schmidt@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 25 07:59:23 2023
    I'm wondering why there are to different kinds of pricing for
    FreeBSD-VMs at the Azure Marketplace:

    1) Starting at $0/hour (+ Azure Infrastructure costs)
    e.g. FreeBSD 13.1, 13.2, 12.3, 12.4

    2) Bring your own license (BYOL) (+ Azure infrastructure costs)
    e.g. FreeBSD 13.0, 12.2

    I wouldn't care, but *none* of our customers had prolbems rolling out
    a vM using 2), but almost every customer fails rolling our the one
    with pricing-scheme 1) because it's not 'in their plan' or 'in their subscription. I heard it has something to do with weather you have a
    credit card as payment method or not.

    Why is the FreeBSD-Foundation offering VMs with two differnet pricing
    plans?

    FreeBSD is free. You'll have to ask Azure.
