All work deserves benefit. I did not say it must be zero cost, what I meant
was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre . I too have
written a Ruby programming book, it helped e to learn the language, and
because of it I have huge benefits. People give me Rails projects to my
code house without asking a question.
Yes one might charge for his or her work, but once some one buys it, they
too must have freedom to use it in any way they wish.

A couple of days ago law enforcement officers responded to a domestic violence event. \
They went to protect someone's freedom and now four of them are in the \
hospital.<br> <br>
Around the world men and women in military service protect us from evil; from people \
who would torture or kill us because of our religious, social, or other personal \
preferences. The cost to some who defend us is high; they give their lives. For \
us.<br> <br>
Freedom isn't free.<br>
<br>
Here at home we work to support our families. Food. Housing. Someone has to pay the \
cost. The people who worked hard to write and produce those books deserve at least a \
thank you for their work. If possible, a reward for their labor; writing a book and \
getting it to market is difficult. Often with not much return.<br> <br>
Knowledge isn't free but sometimes we receive it as a gift.<br>
<br>
I encourage all of us to consider freedom and knowledge; appreciate those who provide \
it. Where you can, work to help those who need what you can provide.<br> <br>
Thank you to the authors who wrote and the people who provide so I can gain \
knowledge. I pray for the wisdom to help others.<br> <br>
