What if somebody writes a free application that works but with charts that cost money ?
You can't buy the charts. They are protected by various technical and licensing methods in each of the products you use. The companies can't take the risk of an open source software product revealing and de-protecting their intellectual property. The will not license the maps in any non-secure format. Open source is by definition insecure for these types of applications.
