There are many forms of "value" outside that of currency.

Further the sole reason they may use my software it because it is free, any attempt to even charge $1 for it exceeds the monetary value of the software.

I don't know why you are being downvoted.

If you really are willing to change to a different software (or see/listen a different movie/music) just because you are not willing to pay a dollar, then the value of that software/song/movie really is lower than a dollar.

How is that controversial?
