I have wondering about this model. Somehow developers/companies should get marketing from product being free, but then should also be paid for it... I personally see that these technologies are often picked up because they are free. Meaning that if they were not it would have been unlike option to choose.

It is like having your cake and eating it too...

I'm not sure if there is any good solution. Maybe it is just going back to something like source available... And selling actual products or services.
