There will be mainstream adoption of Open Source Software but you're dreaming if you think it will remain free. Marketing alone to get the masses to adopt these options will have a cost that people will be paying for.

    Free as in "Freedom". not free as in "Beer".

    Not charging money for your product had NEVER been a requirement in open source. Most people just give out away and get their money from elsewhere because theoretically someone could just download the source code and compile it themselves.
