Money, money, money

I've seen versions of this argument over the years. Terry Freedman writes that people shouldn't expect him to work for free. As one person he cites says, "asking me to work for you without offering to pay me is at best in bad taste, at worst extremely insulting." I can see Freedman's point - after all, I can't live on air either. But there's a difference between me and him - I have a day job, while he works as a consultant. He has to think of everything he does as work. But for me, once I'm done my working day, the rest of my time - and my work - is mine to give away for free. And this allows me to be a part of the wider non-commercial community that works because it wants to. If you don't want to work for free, that's fine. But most people don't work that way.
