In the beginning, they did cost money. Netscape offered a free version for home viewers (but charged companies - NetWare came with a user license). Microsoft sold a $29 "Plus Pack" for Windows that included Internet Explorer. That changed when Bill Gates decided to "steal Netscape's oxygen" and become the evil overlord that most people remember him as.
