Free markets only exist when trade is not forced upon anyone. When people are free to trade with whom ever they like, and for what ever reason they like. Gates used the only gun in town (ie: The Government) to shut down other competitors. He was therefore acting against the free market.

I do not mean to detract from the accomplishments Gates did achieve.
