A typical startup page has a custom banner, e.g. "Free Wikipedia

I realize this is merely a minor aspect and might trigger a tedious debate, but "Free Wikipedia" is far from ideal. Wikipedia's tagline is "the free encyclopedia", where "free" clearly points to libre, not gratis carrier coverage. By using "free" in a similar context, but entirely different meaning, we undermine this important distinction and create more confusion.
