There's a difference between free as in cost and free as in not controlled by anyone. Some people don't want to have someone else to be able to hold a stick (legal or technical) over their head and be able to change or withdraw the terms of usage at a whim.
The whole point of open source isn't so that things are free, it's so that things aren't owned and arbitrarily controlled by 3rd parties.
