Free Software categories
What people call 'free' when they mean "no-fee" (depicted above with an eliptical outline) is not the same as 'Free Software', which guarantees freedom. Truly free software is copylefted software under the GPL license.

See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html for some definitions of various kinds of software categorized by licensing.
