No, and perhaps that's the misunderstanding:
"free software" is to "free hardware"
- as -
"free Wifi" is to "free car"
If you use my Wifi, there is no additional cost to me. If you take my
car, I would have to buy another. This is the same as software
requiring no cost to replicate versus hardware which does.
