Yes - it is true.
The incremental cost for every additional Caddy install is 0 (or, as close to 0 as you can calculate for bandwidth charges).
So ... no. It does not cost you anything for an additional user to run Caddy. It is a sunk cost for any given new development - whether one person runs it, or millions.
But instead of realizing this, you've now put-off a vast swath of potential users.

Bad form.
