I wonder if the devs got paid by Valve to finish Alien Swarm or if it
continued to be a mod-in-your-free-time type project? What do you guys
think?

That's actually a better guess.
Two years ago, Valve hired the talented team behind the popular top down
co-op mod Alien Swarm. Since then, they have been busy working on the Left 4
Dead Series, and now Portal 2. However, we never forgot about Alien Swarm
and the team has spent a lot of time bringing the game to Source in between
their contributions to the other Valve projects.

I'm guessing it's Valve's answer to Epic's UDK.

Excited to see Alien Swarm. Not only does it not look like source (And
yet
still be source), it looks like good fun. And it's free.
Is there reasoning behind it being free? (Other than allowing anyone to
become a Source developer for free)

If you hadn't heard already, the SDK is being updated on Monday
with
the complete source code to Alien Swarm, a brand new Source 2009 game
by
the team who made the original UT2004 mod (and who now work for
Valve).
It's going to be a sample project in the same vein as TFC.
AS has a tile-based map editor, omnidirectional projected textures,
real-time depth of field and Steamworks integration...but apparently
no
Mac support?
