I keep seeing this about certain "non-free" applications. BUT, I have to 
question that statement. Java, Acroread, Flashplayer, etc may not be 
open source but they are FREE. There is no charge from the supplier for 
their download and installation.

How can they NOT be included because they are "non-free" when they are FREE?
