Be adviced that these are not free software plugins in the sense of
freedom. They are merely proprietary gratis software.

pp. You might answer that as a mere user this doesn't concern you. But
you are wrong. Of course, even as a mere user you have advantages with
free software. You can always look for someone to do the stuff that you
want (fixing the software, updating it, etc..). Even maybe paying
someone to add that missing feature you need. If you want to, you can
even keep the modified software all to yourself (as long as you don't
distribute it no one has the right to see the changes you made).
Free software has many advantages.
But besides that gratis proprietary software can be fun, too ;) [i play
around with some VSTi's, too]

Re the Gratis proprietary software, I think a lot of these companies are
a bit worried by the Linux thing and are trying to see how
making their product free can help them with sales.
I like to think Nvidea have seen better sales due to their
drivers for Linux.
They may even realise that they can open the drivers up and still retain
a market share.
Here's hoping

...no, I'm wrong, there are lots of things going on in my system, that I
don't want to happen. But at least they were initially intended to help
me to do the things i wanna do. Hmm, maybe my english is a bit crappy...
Just consider spyware in a gratis downloadable game. You want to play
the game, the company wants information about you. Two interests, both
served by the same software. (Put like this, it sounds really great :))
