John McAfee (the antivirus guy) has offered to decrypt the San Bernadino cellphone free of charge rather than force Apple to create their skeleton key

"So here is my offer to the FBI. I will, free of charge, decrypt the information on the San Bernardino phone, with my team. We will primarily use social engineering, and it will take us three weeks. If you accept my offer, then you will not need to ask Apple to place a back door in its product, which will be the beginning of the end of America."

spoils: he's a little kooky, but he's not entirely wrong about things (www.businessinsider.com)
