But something tells me that the charitable software institutions will fade away.. freebie burn out..

Agree with you. Sad example comes to mind - Netscape and its browser. Not too many people were paying for the browser anyway, but it was enough to keep a great company afloat. One day M$ started giving browsers away. That was the day that Netscape, as we knew it, died. We got free browsers, did we win?
