Yeah, right. And the "free" elections in the old Soviet union were truly free elections. Keep lying to yourself, at least you believe it.
But let me buy your lie for one moment. If that is all FREE means (freedom from vendor control), I guess I can make my own version of Linux and charge you $300 per copy and I don't have to make it available free of charge. Oh wait, but the GPL says I can't do that. So I guess it means you don't pay for the software also.
