The expression is "free as in beer" not "as free as beer." It is sued to contrast the type of freedom that you have when somebody gives you something for free (as in beer or software) as opposed to the freedom or liberty to do what you like with the software like in free speech. The expression is not to imply that you can get beer is known for its zero price. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
