well, in my language gratuit = nemokamas, libre = laisvas (~4000 000

the exact context it is used in because meanings of these two words
never intersect. Strangely we still have prime between 2 and 4 ;-)

The Russians have had problems with the concept for freedom for many
years . . . :)
George Orwell knew all about that.
However безплатни means that it costs no money, (от платено - paying) and
свободен means unrestricted, as in свобода жена; a woman unfettered by
the bonds
of marriage or social convention.
Just to make it "more fun" in Bulgarian there is a contrast between:
свобода and свободия; the latter meaning completely unrestricted
freedom without any sense of self-control.
However:
