Public bug reported:
The "Restricted drivers available" message that says "In order to use
your hardware more efficiently, you can enable drivers which are not
free software" (currently viewable under "Handling of non-free device
drivers" on the page at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/gutsybeta or
directly at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/Beta?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=r-m-newdrivers.png)
is ambiguous. In this context, "free" could refer to either price or
the commonly accepted (but not widely known to the general public)
socialist definition of software freedom and I am pretty sure grandma
and grandpa trying their first GNU/Linux computer are going to think it
refers to money.
