I have just discovered that there is a very in depth entry inthis free net encyclopedia, Wikipedia. I have a
short excerpt here including LRH talking of a monopoly onDianetics being profit motivated. It has links to
the Freezone.
Free Zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Free Zone is the name used to describe the various
individuals and groups who have broken away from the
Church of Scientology, but who continue to practice
Scientology-derived beliefs and techniques in an
environment free from the control of the official
Church.
In spite of the controversy surrounding the teachings
of L. Ron Hubbard, members of the Free Zone believe
that the auditing process and other techniques used in
dianetics and scientology offer genuine benefits.
The Church of Scientology has taken steps to suppress
the Free Zone and shut it down when possible. It has
used copyright law to attack the various factions of
the Free Zone. Because of this, the organizations that
comprise the Free Zone have avoided the use of
officially trademarked Scientology words, including
the word "Scientology" itself.
One basis for the notion that anyone has the right to
freely practise according to the teachings of L. Ron
Hubbard, whether sanctioned by the Church of
Scientology or not, is Hubbard's statement:
"Dianetics is not in any way covered by legislation
anywhere, for no law can prevent one man sitting down
and telling another man his troubles, and if anyone
wants a monopoly on dianetics, be assured that he
wants it for reasons which have to do not with
dianetics but with profit."
—L. Ron Hubbard, Dianetics: The Modern Science of
Mental Health (1950)
If anyone has questions about the Freezone please ask.
Anyone is also welcome to mail me questions.

This has been changed to reflect that not all the Freezone is squirrel. to the following:
"The Free Zone is the name used to describe the various groups and individuals who practice Scientology-derived beliefs and techniques in an environment free from the control of the official Church of Scientology.
It is an umbrella term that encompasses those practitioners who practice Scientology outside of the control of the church. Such practitioners range from those who closely adhere to the original teachings of Hubbard to those who have changed what they practice to be hardly recognisable as Scientology at all.
In spite of the controversy surrounding the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, members of the Free Zone believe that the auditing process and other techniques used in Dianetics and Scientology offer genuine benefits.
The Usenet newsgroup alt.clearing.technology is one of many discussion groups used by members of the Free Zone to discuss their practices. There are also several Yahoo! groups used by the individuals who consider themselves part of the free zone.
The name Free Zone was originally used only by the organization founded by "Captain" Bill Robertson in 1982 (now known as Freie Zone e.V or the Free Zone Association), but is now frequently applied to all non-CoS Scientologists."
this gives it a proper balance which it did noit have before.
