I think that could be a good model for Linux gaming: you release the engine under a free license, so you can have a platform for games, and then you sell content on that platform. I don't think a whole lot of people would mind paying for content while the technology is free. Books and music also work this way.

rms is happy too

IIRC from a talk he gave in Manchester his main concern is the code was free, he's happy for non-code assets not to be. I did wonder if he would be quite so relaxed about scripted events, after all that's code.
