Many people outside the open-source community don't know those words. For discussions on a mailing list they're fine, but they don't really communicate well when your audience is the general public. Instead of "Gratis" I would suggest the phrase "free of charge", which I believe nearly everyone in the English-speaking world understands. As for "libre", it's better to name a specific license, or at least the general category (permissive versus share-alike). Not everyone will understand, but people who *care* about the license will, so. -- v4sw5Phw5ln5pr5FPO/ck2ma9u7FLw2/5l6/7i6e6t2b7/en4a3Xr5g5T http://hackerkey.com/decrypt.php?hackerkey=v4sw5PprFPOck2ma9uFw2l6i6e6t2b7en4g5T
