libre == free in french OR was it italian OR spanish?? f*** it!! libre is just 'free' in a different language.. you could call it 'fookat' software if you choose to.. btw whats the correct word for 'fookat' in pure hindi??
libre != fookat.
nopes libre == fookat
libre = free in the liberty sense (french derived from latin)
This is your interpretation.
fookat = free in the monetary sense (muft in pure hindi)
btw, muft is urdu.
What you really want is "mukt" or "azad"
True.. but libre == fookat..
Uhhh, no Philip is correct.
libre = free as in freedom, not free as in cost
Said to me by a friend of mine who knows French and hasn't heard of Linux.
