  I used "free" as in "you can read this article I wrote without paying
me money" (as opposed to eg. "if you want to listen to this piece of
music, you'll have to pay me money").

  I hate the English word "free". It has so many differing meanings that
it's almost impossible to use in an unambiguous way.
