Care to give the reference for that translation?

There is a corner case, though: the expression "libre de droits", which is more or less equivalent to public domain ("unobstructed by [intellectual property]rights"). But nobody without an intent of infrigement would seriously think of "logiciel libre" to mean "public domain software".

(now, mainstream press journalists, that's a different matter....)

The original was French, and it was an (American iirc) Reuters translation.

So it was an English speaker who screwed up the translation ...

Cheers,
Wol
