Free[0] == Free of Cost
Free[1] == Free to do whatever you want with without having to share [ALA BSD]
Free[2] == Free to do whatever you want but having to share
Free[3] == Free without problems with Patents/Trademarks on source code.

Free[Aleph-0] == Free of any restrictions to do what you want however
you wish without anything impinging via binary blogs for hardware that
should all be open to anyone to build at any time if they had the
circuit diagrams and the other equiptment.
