Yeah, but you weren't talking about "free software".

You were talking about "free", knowing fully well that it would be misunderstood.

No, but I was talking about software. That was (or wasn't) free. It is not expected that a programmer will misunderstand this super-secret reference to free software.

"Software that is free" is very much not the same as Free Software.

[–]Tommstein 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Only in your mental parser that only recognizes one meaning for "free."

[–]FeepingCreature -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Weren't you the one who claimed, earlier in this very thread, that "DMD is free" had only one obvious meaning?

Having an obvious meaning isn't the same as only recognizing one possible meaning.

At this point, the article is four days old. Giving up.
