When has that ever happened with free software?
If people are going to pay for a copy, they're going to purchase it off the developer, and if they aren't going to pay for a copy, they'll get one gratis off someone who has purchased it from the developer, not from some literally who reseller.
Many people sell copies of proprietary software much cheaper than the developer, or even provide copies gratis, but I haven't heard of a case where this has cased financial issues for the developer - only seething about the amount of dollars that the developer imagined they deserved.
