How/why do all the thousands of packages that are available as open source and enable basically everyone to code and make programs stay free? Everything else in the world is turned into a product to make a profit.
This is similar to the extensive resources available on the internet like StackOverflow where people literally give people answers to their problems for nothing. Like, someone could work for a company and use other peoples work and benefit from it.

Just to clarify something: most open source software includes license agreements that restrict when and how users can profit from that software. This (theoretically) prevents companies from profiting off open source when the developers choose to disallow that.
