How many millions did Google spend on Android (acquisition and salaries), only to give it away for free?
Usually, companies do this to break into a monopolized market (or one that's at risk of becoming one), with openness as a sweetener. IBM with Linux to break UNIX-on-big-iron domination, Google with Android vs. iPhone, Sun with OpenSolaris vs. Linux-on-x86.
