Now we're getting somewhere ! Not every business model fits every type of software equally ! That's why, for example, Free software is so successful in the server market (which is practically 100% company/profit driven), but has abysmal reputation in some other areas (say, games), as they require a very different approach in development, marketing, distribution, etc.
