As you all know, Terminal is being released on MW3, soon, for free.
People have speculated why it is free - no, it is not because you bought the map once already.
It's because Alexander Roycewicz, the level designer of Terminal, is no longer with IW.
They came to some sort of agreement, but in a nutshell, they can't charge money on something someone else made without his agreement. Under the terms of it, he clearly didn't want them to earn more money, and they wanted to bring it over, so that is why it is free - they can't charge money.
This is most likely the case, unless somewhere in their studio contract, it is stated that the level designers do not own their creative property - ACTI would own it in the reverse case.

That's kind of their fault for firing everyone.

either way it awesome that terminal will be free. It is sad thing that the original IW are no longer part of it.
