Free speech, not free beer.
I'm a software developer myself, and create both open source and proprietary. You can't say that everything should be OS. A lot of OS projects don't have support or much funding.
They each have their place. People need to make money somehow, and if they have a valuable peice of software that they spend their time on, and it's their own form of income, you bet they should charge for it. A lot of OS projects are from companies that are already financially secure.
