Apple recently announced that the OS X would be free for now on, making it so that operating systems for computers everywhere will most likely start to be free. It's a very prudent decision, because it will encourage people to buy their products more, making them seem innovative and that they think of the customer before themselves, that they care.
This is really great news actually, and hopefully companies will stop trying to make profit off of some technology that should be free, like educational tech or knowledge. People shouldn't have to pay for that, they should have access to knowledge. Apple, by making a business decision, so that they could make more money overall, has made things a step or few closer to being more free, which may ultimately backfire on them, or they may find a way to make it work for them.
I think this is really great stuff, and hopefully more companies will follow, with not just making their operating systems free, but other features as well, to compete.
