Yes! this is exactly how it should be! No free option!

NC are antithetical to natural rights because they are slavery. If there is payment contingent on performance, than there isn't slavery. Given payment is required, firms that would ask for NC go way down.

Random thing I found out was a lot of serfs became serfs through debt bondage. And this involved a contract/oath that bound the serf and his progeny in perpetuity.

Other place serf originally were peasants farming communal property who had they're rights taken away bit by bit over hundreds of years until they were bound to the land and had no rights.
