Free cost and free as in freedom to understand and modify the code. I also think it’s a beautiful way of doing things. We also have Wikipedia and Openstreetmap. The internet has a tremendous potential for collaboration, people doing things because they want to, for the benefit of everyone.
I totally agree! I wish I could contribute more to these things that I use, but it also (and maybe more importantly) makes me want to be more free and generous with all the things I can do.
