I only had time to make trivial changes tonight -- please keep in mind
that the word "free" is not capitalized in these use cases.

How do you differentiate between Free as in freedom vs free as in gratis?

Context. Sorry, but that's the way English is. Only words that are
proper nouns get capitalized. That's why it should never be 'Open
Source' but always 'open source', etc.

Yeah, even the "free/libre" idea is stylistically lacking at best, and
at worst, ugly and confusing absent the context. Our message is pretty
clear without resorting to goofy slashes or hyphenates. :-)

How do you differentiate between Free as in freedom vs free as in gratis?
You could use "free/libre" for example. But capitalizing the word isn't
the right way to do this in English; instead it implies the use of a
brand name, trademark, or other proper name, which I'm sure isn't the
meaning for which you're looking.
