I think there's no point to make it hinge on money exchanging hands, especially as a liability rule such as this would lead to it being a standard practice to obfuscate this sort of liabilities.

The reason money is a factor (AFAICT) is that in many cases your liability is limited to what you were paid for the product. Ergo, if you give something away for free, your liability is minimal, whereas if you sell it, your liability could potentially be greater than your net profits.
