Well, Internet Explorer is free too.  Just don't ask for the code...

You cannot download Solaris, tweak it a little bit (say, port it over
to Alpha hardware) and then distribute it.  Sun's lawyers would be all
over you.

"Free Software" does not refer to monetary cost.  It is a failing of
the English language that the same word has so many meanings.

Cheers,
