Nope. It's one that you can eat however you want. The cook of a GNU
Free➤¢ lunch lets you eat it, stir it into your hair, wash your tub,
give parts away to your friends, and to chemical analysis so you can
make more similar lunches elsewhere. It comes with no restrictions
about where and when you may eat it, who you may eat it with, and the
like.
