Hmmm. The last comment seems out of step with my experience. From time to
time I am offered a 'stipend' or 'honorarium' for doing something I would
gladly do without payment. I'm also compelled to do some kinds of work
without remuneration, such as writing proposals. I would call the former
part of "free time" because I'm freely doing what I want to be doing. The
latter is not "free time" because I'm compelled to do (for free) what I
would rather not have to do.
