I think a freelancer isn't an entrepreneur because your business doesn't work without you billing for your time.
If you have some other people working for your web development business and you can go to the Bahamas for 3 months without your business going down the toilet, then you're an entrepreneur.
But I think most people on HN will think of an entrepreneur as someone who builds a product that has its own value, and you can sell the product to multiple people to earn money.
Or generate repeated advertising revenue.
So I think entrepreneurship is creating something (a product or a service) that leverages your time so that you don't have to work some part of an hour for every dollar you earn.
