Hi,

I have written an article on how People misunderstand the Concept of FREE in
Free software.

http://www.dhayfule.com/how-is-free-software-misunderstood/

Comments and Reviews invited.

A paragraph from that article:

Free Software in terms of FSF means a Software that is Free to use,
> distribute, modify and share with the world without the Fear of someone
> questioning you. So this Free actually means FREEDOM. In terms of price, the
> Software License would not Cost you. So the free of charge applies here, in
> terms of Software License. No CD Keys or Serial Numbers involved.
>
> However you indeed cannot expect the Services for Free. Such services
> cover:
>
>    - Distribution Media such as Internet, CDs/DVDs and other Storage
>    Devices
>    - Efforts and Consultancy involved in Customizing the Free Software
>    - Costs involving the technical support services, such as Installation,
>    troubleshooting, etc.
>
> All these services indeed are not Free of charge.
