free software is a free good only in its distribution.

creation of free software is a very expensive (in resources) activity

when you build a car, you first designed it, then you go to mass production

with free software yo have the same two  stages, the result of the first one
is a "non-free
good", completely scarce in fact, the second one, distribution, is almost
free (marginally)

of course, open peer design reduces the creative phase costs a lot, and a
lot of people gives its time to a free soft project without asking
traditional exchange return.

but in fact the time is consumed, not monetarized, but used.
