I get your point, and I do agree. However it isn't uncommon for free closed software to become opensource if the owner can't or doesn't want to maintain it anymore.

Or atleast, that is how I handle free software that I create. As long as I'm the only maintainer and can maintain it, I'll keep it closed source. However if I can't or don't want to maintain it anymore I'll opensource it.

Not saying this is the case here, but just trying to say free and closed source software isn't always bad. :)
