At first the whole Humble Bundle thing might seem like a clever promotion scheme, but actually shows that people are willing to pay if the product is right. And people chosen a bundle free of DRM, not sold by a faceless coorporation (you can even chat with the developers!) and, yes, at the price it seemed right to them.
As for me, I am a Linux user and certainly I haven't switched from Windows to Linux because it's gratis (I could use gratis software on Windows or OS X as well), but because I care about using libre software or at least non-libre software that respects my digital rights. I suppose this is the reason why I and many other Linux users support HIB.
