Team Communication does need to be free and does not "require" task management. You will be able to mix and match so only the ones who need tasks pay for it. The "creatively" word means we intend to price it so an Admin does not have to make a decision on adding cost EVERY TIME one more person needs Tasks.

Since Ryver team comm matches up very well against what Slack charges for, it seems a reasonable (at least) claim to be entirely free vs Slack.

Hmm... I strongly disagree with your assumptions. But, hackers have long debated the meaning of the word "free", so who am I to say?

I guess we will have to update the Jargon file to include your curious new definition, "free as in free when compared to specific things that Slack Technologies Inc. sells".
