For many people in the GNU/Linux community, including myself, free refers 
to freedom not price. Regrettably, English does not distinguish between 
these two meanings as well as other languages (c.f. libre and gratis). It 
is possible to sell libre software as well as to have gratis software that 
is non free.

The GNU project has a good essay about what free software is
