So I could be a gardener and contribute to projects I
estimate worthy. From a very abstract point of view, that's coherent.

And as a gardener, I'm not sure software will
be my first source of problems.
A gardener? Replicating vegetables and charging for them is unethical
and antisocial.
Seeds and plants can be replicated at virtually no cost, and it is fun
to do.

And charging for consulting about the gardening.. is being a prostitute.
Why would you want to unethically charge an hourly fee to discuss
gardening? You are holding back something that you should be giving all
your head to, for free. When I speak of freedom, I speak of free sex,
not cost.
