It isn't you that's free, it's the software :-)

While hunting down the source of a quote, I ran across this:

[...] As reformer the liberal is dissatisfied with things as they are because they violate his exceptionally tender conscience. Nor does the liberal confuse liberty with license — that is, with the liberty to destroy liberty. He seeks to change or interpret law to make room for greater freedom, but is so wedded to law that he insists on bringing even the lawmaker, whether civil or ecclesiastical, within its jurisdiction. Liberalism does not advocate change for its own sake, but for the sake of something better in the direction of what he regards as good, namely, the maximum of liberty consistent with a regard for all men and all interests [...]
—PERRY, Ralph Barton, Characteristically American, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1949, p.117.
