That depends on the definition of "free". For the FSF, free always means 
free as in "freedom" or in "free speech", NOT as in "free beer" (free of 
charge).

For software to be free software, in the FSF sense, it MUST also be Open 
Source, while the opposite might not always be true.

ACK. Seen to much good pieces of software disappear just because some 
company was un(able|willing) to continue its development.

ACK (with s/Open Source/Free Software/).
