So in one respect, I would say at point of use it is free, but at the other side of the coin, you have to factor in the time in what the developers could be earning at that specific point!
Also, some of the 'free' software that has a paid for big brother, is that actually free or are the people who pay for the full version subsidising it?

I don't know. Whichever I looked at it, developer offer me a free product to use, in this case Filezilla. I use it whenever I need to, update it when it prompt me to and it doesn't cost me a cent, it's free.
