Quite so, I assume some of it really is free. We did a bunch of work with Cygwin, only to discover that it wasn't free at all, which is why I mentioned that example. I also am something of a "GPL virus" proponent, having read carefully the language it contains [I realize the intent may be something altogether different]. Be that as it may, I am sure that there is lots of quality software that really is free. I *am* a fan of Berkeley or ACE style copyrights which are [as far as I can see (according to my current, limited understanding), for all intents and purposes] -- actually free.
