Lending and borrowing are not desirable activities. They are things we
do when we have to, when there isn't enough of something to go around.
Not to say that lending something like a book to a friend is without
benefits beyond access to the material; it can create a shared
experience that makes for good conversation, or provide an excuse to
see each other.

Free software is simply software that respects our freedom — our
freedom to learn and understand the software we are using. Free
software is designed to free the user from restrictions put in place
by proprietary software, and so using free software lets you join a
global community of people who are making the political and ethical assertion of our rights to learn and to share what we learn
with others.
