This is a temporal problem ... a problem of timing.

Your statement is true for labor that *has* been spent, but is not
necessarily true for labor that *may* be spent.

This difference is the basis of the Free Software (or any 'Open'
design work for that matter: such as CAD drawings, movies, music,
etc.) 'bounty' business models that connect the potential Users to the
potential Workers *before* work is done so the Users can 'commit' or
'promise' or 'contract' to pay for labor that has not yet been
accomplished.
