Fortunately, there are free alternatives. I'm using ufraw/gimp in parallel
with Lightzone, since ufraw somtimes gives better results. Another nice
alternative is digikam/showfoto (showfoto is the stand-alone editor of
digikam - useful if you do not want to use the archiving features of
digikam). Showfoto has 16-bit support, also uses dcraw, and focusses on the
needs of photographers. It lacks the nice feature of non-destructive editing
and the small size of the lzn-files (and templates, ...), but it is a fine
tool for day-to-day work.

Regarding free alternatives for RAW images, i invite you to take a look at the excellent RAW processing program "Raw Therapee". Not open source, but free and for me one of the best out there.
