Those are not businesses. They are free projects which a dedicated person (or group of people) donate their time and energy to produce.

...and? That's what makes them the best part of the Internet!

For most it is a money pit, but to them the passion is worth more. They do it for the love, not the money.

And it doesn't stop them from existing, proving that the Internet does not actually have to run on profit.
