You can also charge for open source software.

Also, I believe if you find a free piece of open source software that is useful to you, one that comes free as in free beer, then you should be donating to the developer/s; even if its just enough to buy them a beer. Show the developer a little gratitude.

If you don't feel like going that far, even a thank you note is really appreciated.
