Well, consider this - software was free, until Gates freaked out and started charging for DOS. I've known graybeards over the years who are still pissed off about that.

No, software wasn't free. If you believe that you know even less you think you do. The FORTRAN license for example was $80k/year per server and $250 per terminal.
