>>1) You get what you pay for; if it's cheap or free it's crap.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but, if they want to pay money for it, they can. (Give it as a donation to OpenG. )
What I am trying to say is that, AFAIK, the term "free" in the open source philosophy is not one of "free of cost":
"Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software" (from gnu.org)
The fact that you can obtain the OpenG tools and code at no cost should then be an added benefit. If that do not make them confortable, then they can always pay for it. That is not in violation of the open source philosophy. (I am pretty sure Jim and the team of developers can use the money for the open source cause. I won't even mind if they decided to get some beer: their work is priceless, but that's just me.)
Of course, I have no idea what is Jim's or the other OpenG developers' policy on receiving money. I am just thinking out loud.
