Nonsense, Free-with-a-capital-F is a capitonym for being in-line with
the Free Software movement, as opposed to other meanings of the word
free. It gets to be capitalized because its meaning is being related
to the specific proper-nown movement, rather than implied-by-context
specific meaning of the generic word "free".
Put another way,
- "free" = any of the many dictionary definitions
- "Free" = libre
why don't we just use Libre then :P
I prefer using the word Libre, but some are against, due to historical
reasons (... the word "Free" being used in conjunction with Free
Software for many years already).
