[oak perl] Free as In Beer

[Arden Schaeffer]

Arden replies:
Auf deutsch: Im Bier Freiheit.
In interlingua: In cervesa le libertate.
In Lingua latina: In cervesa libertas.
En español (html: español): En cerveza la libertad.
En français : En cervoise (ou en bière) la liberté. --but folks using 
non-Macintosh computers may be unable to read this, so it's better said 
in html: En français : En cervoise (ou en bière) la 
liberté.
