free as in beer

The disambiguation of 'free software': gratis (free beer) versus libre (free speech) - price versus liberty.
English overloads one word where other languages have two, so the movement coined the beer test. The distinction has teeth: freeware costs nothing and grants nothing, while open source may cost money and still grant everything that matters - the source, the rights, the exit.
