Kalium should have linked this page in his initial answer, rather than just assuming that you would understand the distinction -- which does not really, as yet, have much currency beyond those who work in software development or system administration.
The gist of it is that there is a difference between free software and Free Software. The first is "free" in the sense that "free beer" is free. The second is "Free" in the sense that "free speech" is free. In more concrete terms, if users of the software do not have access to the source code for the software, and do not have the right to modify that source code and change the software to fit their own needs, it's not Free, however little it costs to acquire.

If a forum mod or administrator could update the list in the first post, I'd appreciate it.

free vs Free
Correct me if I'm not wrong.
The definition of "free" is that you can get the program without paying.
The definition of "Free" is that it is opensource(meaning that anyone is "free" to recode the program).
Can we just refer "Free" as "opensource" and leave the regular "free" alone?
This will cause less confusion.
