 I've never understood what/why the reasons are 
for people putting free programs on the Internet.
I understand some Linux users who passionately like
the idea of open-source sharing.  However, what is
the reason for someone making iSquint available?

 There has to be an economic game plan involved in 
all of this.

No there doesn't. You don't always have to follow the money. Some 
people do things out of love, or for other reasons that compel them.

I make software, and audio, and video available without any sort of 
economic game plan just like many people on this list do. Why? Because 
I can't *not* do so...

In fact, you sort of answered your own question:

Thanks for this lead to a free program for 
converting MPEG  AVI files.

I've never understood what/why the reasons are for 
people putting "free programs" on the Internet. I understand some Linux 
users who passionately like the idea of open-source sharing. However, what 
is the reason for someone making iSquint available? There has to be an 
"economic game plan" involved in all of this.

Likewise, I wonder what the economic game plan is 
for these sites that offer free hosting of videos or free services 
aggregating?
