No...it's...not. Just because they don't take it away when you sign up for that doesn't mean you're now paying for it. Wouldn't you feel like a chump paying for something when other people aren't? Restroom usage in a McDonald's is free but are you suddenly paying for it if you buy a Big Mac Meal? No you're paying for them to fix you food and the food you receive is what you get in return for your money. The restroom is still free. The one paying for the service of providing/cleaning the bathroom is the McDonald's company. Pedigreequery.com is the one picking up the cost of the basic stats service and it's part of what draws people in to pay for other things but you are not paying for dosage numbers.

The dosage is included in the pedigree information provided with a subscription. It makes no difference if it is also free elsewhere when the information provided with the paid subscription is incorrect.

I don't know what else to add to this thrilling discussion other than to say that Merlinsky is 100% correct.
