It's called NWChem. And there are others that provide a subset of the 
functionality (Gamess-US, for example). Gaussian itself is fairly 
cheap for academics, even with source code.

You are right, of course, that the man-years invested into such 
programs would add up to tens of millions of dollars rather than 100k.
