I think it's a bad idea. I can't see how this benefits the LL community at all, or even what you stand to gain by doing this for free.

I'm sure most LL owners here have spent a *lot* of time and money on their sites and scripts. This is their main income source. Do you think they want this sector flooded by thousands of new LL, that anyone can create at no cost? Look at TGP's, like you said.

If a webmaster isn't willing to invest some money into their business then they aren't serious. They are probably doing this "on the side" for beer money. Your free script would appeal greatly to that crowd.

I know your intentions are good, but I think the results would be unfavorable in the long run.
