What's the difference between "Free" and "Libre"?
Main Post:
In the last few weeks I've seen multiple softwares claiming to be "Free/Libre" rather than just "Free" or "Libre". Why the slash. What is this trying to say?

In English language free can mean no cost, but when Richard Stallman defined the Free Software movement he meant something else, so the proponents of Free Software started to use Libre or "Free as in Freedom not beer" to distinguish Free Software from freeware.
