Free as in "freedom" or free as in "free beer"?

Non-free (as in freedom) software is not something that any self-respecting programmer would willfully associate with because it's inherently dirty. A proprietary license is (literally) a form of DRM. It's a feature that is hostile towards its users, especially those who are "makers" or "doers."
