And would you expect authors of Unix software that is upwards of ten years old, to continue to give active support and software patches? Microsoft does a fairly good job of this. I can still keep 2000 up to date with WinUpdate, and up until recently (may still be possible), WinUpdate still worked fine for NT4 as well.
1. License software under GPL. Worry about who is using it illegally, devote efforts to tracking down violators and prosecuting them.
2. License software under BSDL. Sit back and relax with a beer.
So, there are no people creating the CG? The rendering farms just magically created these scenes on their own?
There's still lots of people behind the scenes here. In fact, with CG, there's probably quite a bit more than there were when there was just a single puppetteer doing Yoda.
It's actually better that way. You give the server a whole processor of its own, and leave the other processor to handle I/O. This makes map loading insanely quick, and keeps the HLDS from madly grubbing the other CPU's cycles, as it so loves to do.

Well, good luck finding that kind of extended support for any software product that costs less than a few thousand dollars - you won't.

These are the H2's of the computer world.
I would certainly hope not, considering how incapable the H2 is off-road.
That was never a real commercial, it was an inside joke at Microsoft.

Why are you so mad at the world?
Or am I looking at the wrong spot? Yes. ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/

However, the joke just isn't true.
