Free In our community, as well as in the wider tech and some non-tech communities, the word free is normally used in the sense of [1]free as in freedom, i.e. implying freedom, not price. The word for "free of cost" is [2]gratis (also free as in beer). To prevent this confusion the word [3]libre is sometimes used in place of free, or we say free as in freedom, free as in speech etc. Links: 1. free_software.md 2. gratis.md 3. libre.md
