Hi Ray,
I understand what your saying and I can also understand why they
wouldn't go down that road. However just because a product is open
source doesn't mean its not able to be sold.
I could see benefits for everyone if it was released under a dual
license like the following.

All the same I don't think it will ever happen. :)
