Right. Sometimes "free good" and "open access" is mixed. The first
is an unregulated good while the latter comes with an explicit rule,
that it can be used by all people if they agree to some conditions (of
a license or whatever).
free software is a free good only in its distribution.
creation of free software is a very expensive (in resources) activity
when you build a car, you first designed it, then you go to mass production
with free software yo have the same two stages, the result of the first one
is a "non-free
good", completely scarce in fact, the second one, distribution, is almost
free (marginally)
of course, open peer design reduces the creative phase costs a lot, and a
lot of people gives its time to a free soft project without asking
traditional exchange return.
but in fact the time is consumed, not monetarized, but used.
