Uhhh, no Philip is correct.

libre = free as in freedom, not free as in cost

Said to me by a friend of mine who knows French and hasn't heard of Linux.

          Right! Its derived from ...
           French liberté = Latin libertas == freedom
          "logiciels libres" = free software ( French )

Wrong!! libre == free.. also liberté != libre though they have common roots in Latin.
