Many people call Linux and Ubuntu free software and then
mistrust it for that reason. The big BIG error in this is the
fact that while we can download it at no real cost to
ourselves, there is a lot of cost that went into that software
we download!
We can get free from this I think if we refer to Ubuntu as
free to me.
