What do you mean free data must be free?

The data is free, but the aggregated formatted data has been worked on and processed, are you saying the resulting aggregated data should also be free? That isn't going to happen, why would anyone do that work for free?

Or are you afraid linkedIn and others will make everything private? That's completely up to linkedIn or individual linkedIn users what they want to make private vs public. Maybe more data would be made private if they don't want it scraped. I don't think that's inherently a good or bad thing.
