+<h2>What is the difference between free and gratis?</h2>
+<p>
+Free (or gratis) things can be very fun. You can get a free ice cream or a 
free 
+toy. Let's say you get an entrance ticket for free to an amusement park with 
+many rides such as roller coasters and carousels without have to pay anything 
+for it. There is nothing wrong with that. That is fun! However, if you aren't 
+allowed to ride the carousels or the roller coasters while you are in there, 
how
+ fun would it be and how free would you be?
+</p>
+<p>
+The word &ldquo;free&rdquo; is a homonym. It has at least two different 
+meanings. One meaning is that something is obtainable without payment (as in 
+free ice cream). Another meaning is that you have the freedom to do certain 
+things (as in free from imprisonment or slavery). Many languages have two 
+separate words for &ldquo;free&rdquo; as in freedom and &ldquo;free&rdquo; as 
in
+zero price. For example, French has &ldquo;libre&rdquo; and 
+&ldquo;gratuit&rdquo;.
+</p>
+<p>
+When we talk about free software, we talk about free as in freedom, not as in 
+gratis. You are allowed to both distribute copies of a free program for a fee 
or
+distribute it for free (as in gratis).</b>
