My experience with Wizards as a company and software has been nothing but bad. While I agree with you in theory that they shouldnt be concerned with free materials coming from their information, i wouldnt be surprised that if it became prolific enough they might get involved. But then gain, maybe not. d20 and 3.5 is in a weird state now. When 4th editioncame out, they demanded stores to destroy (yep, destroy) all the books. So 3.5 books became a premium on places like amazon. Then the reprint. If WoTC sees a way to make money, they will. In my opinion, they just arent a trustworthy organization.
I think you're safe for free stuff.
