There's no such thing as free software, I'm sorry.
Perhaps some would consider it a small detail, but I think it's noteworthy:
"Free software" does not mean it doesn't cost any money, it means it's unrestricted. As RMS has typed (probably millions of times) before: "Think 'free speech' not 'free beer'" Free software is free because, unlike proprietary software, you have the right to distribute it, modify it, copy it... You are free to do these things. With an proprietary product, you are not.
