The word "free" is a little confusing. It could for example mean "free
as in free beer" or "free as in free speech" (gues wich free software is
refering to ;-)
In danish its much simpler. the translation of free software is: "Fri
software". 'Fri' means "free as in free speech".
If you look at this site:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fs-translations.html, you will find that
the translation of "free software" to spanish is: software libre
