I think that because most people want to be hands off their software, they just want it to work. They don't personally want to have to go through code and what-not, that would keep a software industry going. The majority of folks would gladly pay for free as in free beer software if it is of good quality, and because it's free they will have infinite amounts of choices to choose from because people will be changing and improving on what's already there. Or they could have it customized and tailored to the application they need it for. There is still money to be had with free software. Maximizing freedom is the key.
