Do you mean commercial? There are some commercial software package offerings for Linux but by and large the Linux user base seems to reject the notion of paying for closed source software. Go figure?
It does appear that for this reason we are going to have to wait a long time for some types of software to be available for Linux. For whatever reasons for some projects developers do expect to be financially compensated for their work.
So it isn't all free and in some places it isn't equal to what is available for commercial platforms.
