I suppose the situation might be as follows: source code is freely
available (on website, github or whatever), but the binaries are not.
Anyone tech-savvy enough to serve himself doesn't have to pay, but
"simple users" do have. I think that if the price was low (say, 5$)
nobody might be interested in forking it.
And actually, releasing source for free but binaries for fee makes
some sense. After all, build process can be a hassle (Graham, for
example, spends much of his time precisely to serve LilyPond binaries
to everyone on the planet).
cheers,
Janek
