Free software is not necessarily free. Even when the sources are
released under a free software license (such as GPL), the compiled
versions can be charged. But anyone is free to get the sources and
compile them.
That said, MakeMKV is not a free software, and it is only partly
open-source. It's a freeware (for the DVD rip/decrypt part) and a
shareware (for the bluray rip/decrypt part).
Thanks for correcting me on MakeMKV being only partially open-source,
pehache. And sorry, David, for not responding to your query — the list
server didn't send me that email, for some reason.
