Yes, I'm willing to believe it's worth nothing. I'm actually willing to believe it's worth less than nothing; that the cost of running a service processing that much data for free may be higher than the service is truly worth.

I'm not saying that's the case here, but it really is not hard to imagine. It's quite obviously possible when you're giving away physical things for free. The only difference here is that free software is a hell of a lot cheaper than free cupcakes, but the cost still isn't zero.
