Yes, I have always also heard it like that. But then I saw a question to
Stallman, "that doesn't make sense, there's no real free beer"? And he
answered that no, but people are misquoting. It was originally "free as
in free speech, not as in free beer" or something pretty close... If
there are some real gpl stallman enthusiast there, feel free to flame me
for mistelling/quoting/having proprietary nvidia drivers on the laptop..
