I love English. It seems to me that "free" has two basic constellations of meaning: first, receivable without payment or other obligation and second, unencumbered or independent. What is interesting how the two concepts get mixed together in our thinking, just because they are represented by the same word. I would probably organize the posting along those lines. I agree with Dancer (and by implication, some of the others) that the idea is good, but the article needs to be more comprehensive.
