Please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html .  Unfortunately,
the English language uses "free" for two unrelated things, freedom and
price (many other languages don't have this problem).  Free software
refers to freedom.  Flash is non-free because it restricts users from
modifying and redistributing it.  Java used to have the same problem,
but this is changing.
