'Free' in free software is used in the sense of *free speech*. You are
confusing it with *free beer*.
I think there is an issue with the concept itself. You must notice that
there is a technical difference between "free' and "freedom".
I can understand "free Beer" but I am not agreeing or understanding with the
usage of "Free Speech" ( it means Paid Speech is available, Right?) To me,
it should have been "Freedom of Speech" to coincide with the 4 requirements
as mentioned.
Thanks,
Senthil
