well, of course that's supposed to be so [free in the sense of libero not gratuito], and is intended to be so, but despite FSF's best efforts to propagate that view, there still seems to be confusion about it. there was recently a note on the free-software-business list that included a reference to an interview with Sean Gordon http://www.linuxandmain.com/essay/sgordon.html and perhaps his experience isn't unique. i suppose they could have called themselves The Liberal Software Foundation, but then that wouldn't work: the Plan 9 licence is a liberal one, but doesn't match the ideology demanded, which probably isn't. i'm think i'm for Reasonable Software myself, in general.
