:Yes, the term Free Software is usually capitalised (by convention) to distinguish it from software that is but free in price. We also call it Free/Libre Software, to make clearer the meaning.

- Yes, the term Free Software is usually capitalised (by convention) to distinguish it from software that is but free in price. We also call it Free/Libre Software, to make clearer the meaning. I am about to add some more information to this article; it will make this distinction. Patrick Niedzielski 17:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
