What "free software" means (I didn't write only "free", I wrote explicitely "free software") in particular in the context of GNU/Linux is perfectly clear.
Perhaps it should be called 'open source'/ 'closed source' instead of 'free'/'proprietary'.
Strictly speaking "open source" is not necessarily "free software" but "free software" implies "open source (code)". To maximise the "Confusion of tongues": "Free software" is of course not "freeware". For example the Brother driver is "freeware" which is neither "free software" nor "open source software". But we are off-topic.
