No, they're not free. They are supported by billions of business computers running Windows. Many seem to neglect that ArcaOS is very much a niche OS. R&D doesn't come for free and nor does the amazingly complicated process of porting *NIX applications over to ArcaOS. With a subscription, you are guarenteeing (sp) support for an OS that has 1/10000th of the userbase that Windows has... ...but remember, today's Windows wouldn't exist without OS/2.
