What does the software being 'profitable' mean? Profitable as in 'useful'?

Winzip and WinRAR earn this much... So much for the free archiving programs ehh... 7Zip people must start some serious publicity work.

I'm surprised really. I don't think anyone buys Winzip!!
What about Oracle, DreamWeaver, Norton AnitVirus?
I don't agree with the list. Yes people are buying anti-spyware,
and Security suites.
