 Le Libre Logiciel
Pour le programmeur, le Libre Logiciel est garantie qu'il pourra travailler en collaboration avec des administrateurs compétents et à son écoute, plutôt que d'être attaché à un administrateur incompétent et méprisant par les chaînes l'empêchant d'exercer ses compétences en dehors de la structure détentrice de droits.
Dans le cas de la fourniture de logiciels libres, tout le monde peut concourrir, et le prix ridiculement bas auquel on peut se fournir en logiciels libres est réellement le reflet de ce à quoi le marché évalue la fourniture d'un logiciel brut: à peu près rien.
Du fait que le logiciel est libre, tout un chacun peut l'utiliser et assurer l'assistance technique, et non pas seulement une compagnie à monopole ; il y a donc un libre marché qui réduit les coûts et améliore la qualité de l'assistance technique.

 TUCSON'S BARRIO LIBRE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
the division known as the Barrio Libre, with its tortuous lanes and alleys, its uninviting adobes with their cool, roomy courtyards in the interiors, its motley population of Mexicans and Indians, and the mellifluous chatter of la lengua oastellana, looks a bit of old Mexico transplanted to the Northern Republic."
Here, the Mescalian could imbibe his fill, and either male or female could, in peaceful intoxication, sleep on the sidewalk or in the middle of the streets, with all their ancient rights respected.
A 'free district' such as the Barrio Libre, outside the city's tight control, was a very important element in a city complex.

 Quo vadis, libre software?
The word "libre" (used in Spanish and French, and similar to "livre" in Portuguese, "libero" in Italian and other words in most romance languages) has an unambiguous meaning: it means "free" as in "free speech" but not as in "free beer" (using the terminology of The Free Software Definition.
