Actually it doesn't make much sense to me at all. "Free as in public

Allegri's Miserere? (See:

It seems like when people talk about "Free as in Freedom" they're
typically talking about much more than the ways in which Mozart's music is
"free".
Well I didn't imply that mozart free is equivalent to stallman free.
Just that opera free is not mozart free. What I meant by mozart free was
public domain, if we want to be specific, but in any case opera is
simply ticket-free and not any other kind of free.
Ah, that makes perfect sense then :-)
(And actually it gave me a good excuse to post the Miserere link, which is
my favorite copyright-related story. Who knows if it's true, but it sure
makes for good reading!)
