I'd say losing money is more of a substantial worry than having your script used by others. In fact, if you're searching for a free host, that's probably exactly what you want. To host the script, yet not have to worry about actually paying for and maintaining a server. Sounds like a win-win to me.
I also wonder how those who pay to run their own server actually gain anything worthwhile out of it. It's not the smartest investment in the world... putting money into something reliant on a third-party mod to a 10 year old game, hmm.
If anything, free hosting for SA-MP game modes should be more of a common occurrence and people should stop being so protective over something that they actually wish to share anyway. Have a group specialising in server hosting, who will host a huge variety of game modes chosen simply by quality. They're more likely to see a return than you are if you go it alone anyway.
