I am saying that if ANYONE else is making money from these festivals, in ANY way, then that is wholly wrong.

Free Musicians?

Then ensure that EVERYTHING else is free too, including food/beer/marquee tents, etc...

I'm saying that for centuries, musicians have been overlooked, and exploited, because those in charge do not value the creative arts at all...and sadly, they have allowed themselves to be exploited too, because many musicians are often quiet, shy people who simply love to play their music and who won't ever demand to be paid, feeling grateful to be there in the first place.
