[discuss] LibreOffice - What's in a Name?

[Harold Fuchs]

The word "free" in English is ambiguous. It can mean "at no cost", free as 
in beer - "Gratis". It can also mean "at liberty", free as in speech, 
"Libre". In normal conversation context usually distinguishes between the 
possibilities. However, here we are deep in the world of F(L)OSS where the 
distinction is widely used, recognised and made explicit. So, am I being 
paranoid in thinking that the choice of the name "LibreOffice" suggests that 
at some stage it will no longer be Gratis?
