What is free has no value?

Completely absurd.

Tell that to the open source community, who have been collectively producing high quality products for the general public for years and years, free of charge.

It could be argued that what is free is of infinite value.

Greed has its uses, but so does curiosity, doing something for its own sake, generosity, and sharing.

What you do for your own reasons, not simply motivated by a contrived sense of needing to because of perceived value (arbitrarily created by the manufacturer much like certain cards in games like Pokemon), is best. Internal motivation from a true perception of value is always best.

I've noticed that people in the marketing business are so awash in their own BS that they start to believe it. It helps, I guess, to think you're doing someone a favor when you're bending them over.
