The low price of free software leads some English speakers to think that the word &lsquo;free&rsquo; in the phrase &lsquo;free software&rsquo; means they can obtain it without cost. This is not the definition, which is about freedom, but it is an easy misunderstanding. After all, I have been talking of frugal use of resources, software that is inexpensive.
