Z:gnu-www-ja-free-software-for-freedom--c000d5-The term =26ldquo;free software=26/en

The term &ldquo;free software&rdquo; has an ambiguity problem: an unintended meaning, &ldquo;Software you can get for zero price,&rdquo; fits the term just as well as the intended meaning, &ldquo;software which gives the user certain freedoms.&rdquo; We address this problem by publishing a  more precise definition of free software, but this is not a perfect solution; it cannot completely eliminate the problem. An unambiguously correct term would be better, if it didn't have other problems.
