I certainly never asserted that people did not pay for software. My point is that free software is very proven as a development, distribution, whatever method by now.

Yes, it is indeed proven that when you pay people to develop software, it works great. (Linux, FF, Chrome, Photoshop, Windows, etc, etc). The license doesn't seem to make much of a difference. When you don't - (your typical freeware on download.com) - they have to figure out a revenue stream after the fact, and the choices they end up making cause them to be on the front page of HN where people line up to call them "scum". Obviously this is not about hobbyist/part-time developers with a github repo, who are already getting paid through an external job, etc.
