I've heard of lawyers doing pro bono, but not exclusively.

And how are people supposed to support themselves while they create these
free tools for you?  So software engineers are supposed to give away their
labor for free, but others who produce food, build houses, make cars, refine
gasoline, and even manufacture PICs are allowed to charge what they can get?

So I suppose you are taking the high road and producing lots of stuff for
free?  Please, show us the web page with all the wonderfull stuff you've
create that we can all just download for free.
