Sometimes something may be free; when it is we get it for nothing, but we do not get it for free.
Is there some lust for circumlocution that impels some people to insert redundant words ?

I may be mistaken (I often am), but I think the expression 'for free' came from America. It was probably coined by an immigrant from elsewhere whose first language was not English.
