Linspire add-ons

Rick:
You can use any of the debian programs to up date this distro but it does
have some customized versions of some stuff also you should create a
non-root user for everyday use, as it unwisely uses root as a normal user.

I have been considering using Linspire as my linux 
desktop/workstation.  But I have a question.

Linspire uses CNR (Click-aNd-Run) to add additional software 
packages.   Many of the packages are either freely available, or are 
functionally similar to freely available packages.

My question is: Is it necessary to subscribe (~$50/year) to the membership 
to get additional software or can I install additional packages from the 
freely available linux software.  Does Linspire have a package manager that 
can be used?

Thanks,

~Rick
