The word "free" only means you don't pay a purchase price. No...i think it means more. i live in america...alleged land of the "free"....and, from what i remember from history/civics....the american freedoms were based on not having restrictions imposed by others. many words can have several meanings....trust me...i am an esl person...i learned this painfully as a child. please don't muddy the waters, on this issue...think not in terms of money...but, in terms of restrictions.
