Yes, it will remain free. phpBB was (and is) developed under the GPL, so even if the devs decided to switch the licensing at some point, it could be forked from the last code released under the GPL (currently in CVS) and released free under another project name.

You can never go home again... but I guess you can shop there.

New versions do not have to be free,
please learn how to spell,
and just because we can make it not free, doesn't mean we will, we give you our word that we will keep it free.

The wierd thing is, I don't think phpbb even except donations? Apart from by buying merchandise.
I mean before making this a paid for thing, allowing for donations would bring a huge amount of revenue with a community as good as this surrounding the software.

Yup, it is free as far as we know. However, the GPL also grants that people can charge for the board, but the sourcecode must be opened up.
