I honestly do think you are missing the point here. I picked up Libranet 2.0 on a whim. I payed the money for the download edition and I haven't had any desire to go to anything else. I'll buy 2.7 as well as soon as I can afford it:-)
As Tal said, it takes the Libranet team time and money to produce their distro, and they do a very very good job, IMHO. Their additions/modifications to the debian base make everything much nicer from an end user's perspective.
Those modifications along with amazing support make the purchase very worthwhile in my opinion. Libranet has also recieved a lot of very positive reviews, which was what led me to switching to Libranet from the Mandrake and Redhat.
I agree that they may lose some user base by not giving away their product, I don't think they'll lose much money in the long run. I sure hope not anyway, I want Libranet to stick around for a long time!!!

Funny that that 2.6 doesn't exist...how odd.
2.0 however, the prior release, got great security reviews from what I saw.
