Especially since there *are* totally, actually free
alternatives (and this was what the OP asked for).

FreeRTOS and XMK are two that come to mind:

http://www.freertos.org/
http://www.shift-right.com/xmk/

IIRC, they both impose requirements that you offer to supply
source code to your customers.

Are you objecting?

No.

Do you consider that excessive?

No.

Do you find my mentioning it objectionable or excessive?

I was just pointing out that they do impose that requirement.
It's one thing that has to be considered when making a choice.
I have customers who would rather spend a couple thousand
dollars than set up and maintain a system/procedure for
distributing source code to customers all over the world.
