hmmmmm.....
OSM is composed of free software. It is built on free software.
How would it be possible without it?

I know many of the OSM people fee the same way as you do...
But think about what you are saying for a minute.

If all the code and all the tools we used were to be licensed costly

how would it exist?

It would not.
