I think this is fairly natural, imagine you were working for a non profit
organization without getting money like a volunteer firefighter and you
were being asked what you will charge for your services next year.

If you have a look at the history of Povray you will recognize that the
program being free and source available was a major premise throughout the
history.

But you probably know that a lot of those programs get out of development
or drop into insignificance after that for obvious reasons.
