free software;opensource projects
Free as in free speech vs Free as in free beer isn't a concept, it is an example of a concept. :-)This example belongs to the GPL and is used to clarify the definition of free in the term Free Software.Free beer is gratis. It doesn't cost you anything. The term refers to the price of a product. This is not the intention of the word free in this context.The intention is more like free in free speech, the liberty to say the things you want without getting censored.
