  I did not quite write free, but 'free'.
  Why is it in the points you both make, David & Barry, that you hone-in on the "people" who erroneously consider such a term as -free- to mean gratis, and not upon the commercial entities who must consider such as 'gratis'. For they think nothing about trading within our economy in such a way as to abstract money to the exclusion of all tax?
  How can they glibly pay no money in and profit from all the work done in Health & Education, unless they consider it a gift of heaven or the job of ethereal 'others' elsewhere in the economy?
  
  Presumably such companies lay great store in the coining of the phrase, "Free, at the point of use." And are free to consider themselves as non-users and therefore free to ignore the costs involved, and any part they might play in offsetting same.
