A quick comment on the word "Free"
One should be careful when using the word "free". The first thing that usually comes to mind is that there is no cost involved. When "free" is used, the writer should specify which sense of the word is being used.
A well known LRH quote from Clearing Procedures, 1957 has been shortened to read only "The work was free. Keep it so."
The full quote includes the following, which is usually deleted:
Therefore, although we have no such stature as the Great Philosophies, I charge you with this - look to source writings, not to interpretations. Look to the original work, not offshoots.
If I have fought for a quarter of a century, most of it alone, to keep this work from serving to uphold the enslavers of Man, to keep it free from some destructive "pitch" or slant, then you certainly can carry that motif a little further.
I'll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away.
You won't always be here.
But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons - "The work was free. Keep it so."”
With the major part of the quote deleted, some groups use the snippet from the quote to infer that Hubbard intended for services to be free as regards money. Of course, that sense of the word was never intended.
Whatever the word "free" is supposed to signify in the terms "Free Zone", "Free zone" or "freezone", that has never been made clear or if I has, I have never seen it. Had the creator's of the Free zone been careful to specify what sense of the word they intended, there would be much less of a muddle of this topic at the present time.
