Not failure.

Natural evolution.

Validation of Richard M. Stallman's insight in the GNU Manifesto (1985):

   *Restricting copying is not the only basis for business in software
   ...**
   **If it were prohibited, or rejected by the customer, software
   business**
   **would move to other bases of organization  ...*

Now the question is, can we /keep/ software free while the megacorps 
rush in and will inevitably try to "enclose the commons"?
