I'd say that when there is not much profit in such and such field it
will not be saturated by those who are in it just to make $.  Those
who have something to say will do so anyways regardless of financial
rewards.

I don't know who's talking about "giving away for free."  Choosing a
license for your work, even a liberal one, does not imply that you
should not be paid.  It's about freedom.
