Z:gnu-www-ja-words-to-avoid--5661cd-It's misleading to use the ter/en

It's misleading to use the term &ldquo;give away&rdquo; to mean &ldquo;distribute a program as free software.&rdquo; This locution has the same problem as &ldquo;for free&rdquo;: it implies the issue is price, not freedom. One way to avoid the confusion is to say &ldquo;release as free software.&rdquo;
