* Every single piece of Free Software ever. The developers don't expect to be paid. They just write it because it's what they want to do.
** A slightly extreme example: [[Emulation|MAME and MESS]] are not only free, but they're distributed under a license which forbids selling the programs, or using any of their source code in something which will be sold.
*** No longer the case; it is now BSD and GPL license. Selling the games themself is still forbidden, although the license no longer forbids to sell the emulator.
** The bigger projects tend to have paid developers as well, though for the most part they were working on it beforehand.
* [[Google]] [http://www.google.com/logos/ Doodles]; sure, the site's text can just be the same every single day, but numerous artists take upon them to draw something to relate to various countries' events, celebrity birthdays and such.
