I think there's definitely an opportunity for non-free libraries here,
if anyone wants to try to make a living off of it.  However, IIRC
sourceforge won't host non-free stuff, so it's not something we can do
in the official packages.

Personally, I'm not interested in non-free files or "getting something
back".  As long as nobody's trying to make money by licensing my work
to others, I'm OK with it.  The tricky part here is protecing the
freedom of the files when they're in a distributable state
(schematics, .pcb files, since symbols/footprints can be extracted),
but permitting commercial use when they're not (gerbers, boards).
