Plenty of people can code a program and give it away for nothing.
Heck, they are bound to attract a group of users, who are looking for free scripts.
However, at some point the company or individual responsible will decide that their time/effort/expenses are worth something, and the free script is no longer free.
And then what becomes of the freeware script that was only popular because it was free???
