On the polysemy of "free"
Many people know that Richard Stallman is frustrated with the multiple meanings of "free" in English, which continue to confuse people about what's meant by Richard's term "free software".
Richard started using the example of "free as in speech, not as in beer", or, sometimes, "free as in freedom".
I was just reminded of another meaning of "free": unoccupied, vacant, or available. So I want to say "the apartment downstairs is free as in malloc, not as in beer".
