&quot;I see my giving my attention as a paramount expression of freedom&quot;
The thing is that the 5 secs you spent looking at an ad when you went to youtube to search for XYZ was not what you wanted but the price you paid for the free video service (because you didn&#x27;t pay for XYZ video creation, nor for youtube infrastructure that serves that video, nor for google service behind to perform the search).<p>&quot;free software&quot;
-as in the use of the term &quot;free&quot; I might ask someone else to complete but I think is not referred to the cost of producing or delivering it to you but the access to the underlying source code and the ability to change it.
