I think this deserves an obligatory "if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product." It seems to always turn out that way. After all, these projects are popular because they are good, and they are good because the developer or developers commit the time to develop, test, and support these projects. Naturally, there has to be a way to make money in order to keep these projects going, hence the Dice move. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I think it's reasonable. In other words, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
