KICAD is incredible, can't believe its free.
this is coming from an altium daily driver. Kicad definitely won't hold up during high speed memory routing or something but its still great.

KiCads open format is much better for small business, freelancers and startups and while Altium is industry standard, I can’t imagine it will be for much longer
Since it's published with the GPL-3 license, I don't expect that to change. Even if there were interest to change the license and all copyright holder agree (which is generally not feasible in a long running FOSS project), there surely would be a fork, if the software is then still popular.
