[oak perl] Free as In Beer

[George Woolley]

I really like the concept of Free Software.
The reality is even better.
I understand that the free in Free Software is
referring to Free as in Freedom
as contrasted with Free as in Beer 
(when taken as referring to price).
But I wonder ...

There is another sense of Free as in Beer
that I think is relevant to the Beer Sig.
The other sense is freeing of inhibitions, etc.
This sense is not unrelated to the saying 
"in vino veritas".
Similarly, one might say "in beer freedom".

/===============================\
Arden, can you translate that 
into Latin and French for us?
Belden, can you translate that into 
Chinese and Spanish?
Mike, would Tia be willing to translate that
into Russian?
What other languages do people know?
German?
Who will do Pig Latin?
Anyone know any other languages?
How about "Free as in Beer"?

Comments?
Translations?
Perl Programs?

Could we add either of the following 
to the Beer Sig Page:

"free as in beer" 
"in beer freedom" or translation(s) thereof

/===============================\
Anyone know the first reference
to the phrase "free as in beer"
in connection with software
you can get without paying $?
Anyone have a reference to a place 
where Richard Stallman uses this exact phrase?
