You seem to have missed the point. It's not the money, it's the license. The proprietary codecs *CANNOT* be redistributed due to the licensing. If it cannot be redistributed, then it has no value to an open-source company, so why pay for it? Free codecs have been developed specifically to get around these licenses, and open-source developers use them *BECAUSE THEY CAN*.
