gratis versus libre
The English adjective ''free'' is commonly used in one of two meanings: "for zero price" (gratis) and "with little or no restriction" (libre). This ambiguity of ''free'' can cause issues where the distinction is important, as it often is in dealing with laws concerning the use of information, such as copyright and patents.
The terms ''gratis'' and ''libre'' may be used to categorise intellectual property, particularly computer programs, according to the licenses and legal restrictions that cover them, in the free software and open source communities, as well as the broader free culture movement. For example, they are used to distinguish freeware (software ''gratis'') from free software (software ''libre'').
Richard Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."

(詳細はRomance and Germanic languages, ultimately descending from the plural ablative and dative form of the first-declension noun ''grātia'' in Latin. It means "free of charge", "at zero price", "free", in the sense that some good or service is supplied without payment, even though it may have value.
