In the free software world, "free" usually means that the source code is
freely available to all.  Some "free" software costs money and some does
not.  The availability of the source code tends to keep prices down. 
Commercial software can be "free software".  This misunderstanding will
hopefully diminish as the term "Open Source" becomes more popular.
