It's good to hear that they are against exclusivity they released the source code for the original Postal a few years ago so they really seem happy with fans enjoying their games however they can.

The first postal is free, only the remaster currently costs money for the first game.
Edit: No idea what the logic is for a third party charging for the Dreamcast version is though... maybe they have some sort of agreement with RWS
Further edit: A link to Postal on Steam to verify price. https://store.steampowered.com/app/232770/POSTAL/
Sorry I edited my comment because shortly afterwards I found an article about them making the original open source. Is someone charging for a Dreamcast version?
I saw this in their article that I linked above
It’s definitely been a wild ride for us all, and POSTAL means a lot to us – it’s our baby… But now we’re ready to hand the future of ‘the little shooter that could’ to the public at large. People have been asking, and we have been promising this for years now, but today we are proud to announce that the source code for POSTAL is officially released to the public on Bitbucket, under the GPL2 license. Everyone now has ‘under the hood’ access, to see what makes POSTAL tick, and anyone with the time and skills can now tweak/change/update/modify anything in the game at all! And hey, if anyone feels the urge to port the game to other platforms (The Dreamcast, for example wink wink), then they absolutely can!
What’s this about?
