Since certain people here in comp.lang.ada say that the English
word "free" is overloaded, perhaps someone could answer a slightly
off-topic question.  The choices in French, as I understand it, are
"libre" and "gratis".  Which one of those corresponds to the use of
"free" in the English phrase "bug-free" ?
