Searching for the string "Free" in software-store package
(https://translations.launchpad.net/software-center/trunk/+pots
/software-center/fr/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=free), it looks
like there is only one string for both meaning. So it might not be a
problem only related to the translation of the software, but also
something missing in the software's conception.

Title:
  Adobe Flash Plugin and Skype marked as "libre" (free as in freedom)
  instead of "gratuit" (free as in "free beer")) in french locale

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This may be a translation bug :
  Non-free softwares as Adobe Flash Plugin 10 (the package version is flash 11, another bug ?) and skype are marked as "libre", but they are not  pieces of free software.
  For languages which have two different words for "free" (as in "free beer" or as "freedom"), the translation should be fixed to avoid any confusion.
