I think creating free content is much more subversive.
Does the one preclude the other?
Yes to a large extent. eg see Jimbo's comments on his talk page about
his
friend who is taking free pictures of baseball players:
"But my very good friend Terry spends a lot of his spare time going
to baseball games to take photos of baseball players for us, and he
finds it disheartening that many of the photos he is taking aren't
adding to wikipedia except in the narrow sense of improving things
from a "fair use" to "GFDL" standpoint. He's prefer to be known as
the hero who went to baseball games year in and year out to get
hundreds of photos for Wikipedia for article which would have
otherwise been bare."
