Z:gnu-www-ja-second-sight--eb4d1a-The word =26ldquo;free=26rdquo; re/en

The word &ldquo;free&rdquo; refers to freedom, not price; think &ldquo;free speech&rdquo;, not &ldquo;free beer&rdquo;. When there are users that value support and are willing to pay for it, free software means a free market for support, instead of a monopoly. Free software also offers government agencies a way to fulfil their responsibility to maintain sovereign control over the state's computers, and not let that control fall into private hands.
