Open Source software works because it scales.

When you build an open source software or creative commons content, it is instantly available to billions.

Cooking, Building, and Healthcare doesn't.

Your free 4 hour per day service to others only scales to the one person that probably benefited from it and for a short period.

A 4 hour bug fix / feature add is benefitting thousands every day.
