gEDA is free. That's good for those that need a layout today that will be used for decades to come. Maybe some part is no longer available in 20 years so the board has to be redesigned. There will be old schematics and pcb designs, created using ancient software running on ancient systems. With gEDA you just take the source and tell a programmer to port it to a modern system. It's likely that something resembling a Unix will still be around. You can't do that with non-free software. The original tool vendor probably no longer exists, whoever has the rights to the software will probably not port it to modern systems and neither allow anyone else to do so.
