      You are talking about Freeze Peach. Free Speech is about having not getting persecuted from denouncing entities (companies, governments, religious gatherings, etc.) or public personae (King, Prime Minister, company owner, influencer, demagogue) when they are supposedly doing something bad, not because they have different appearance or different biological traits.

      You should be careful when offending kings, though.

      EDIT: English language sucks because it has the same word for freedom-like-free and price-free. Many other languages have such words (like Lithuanian laisva vs nemokama or Russian свободное vs бесплатное). Stallman is a native Spanish speaker, so he’s using the wording libre software to denote Free Software, which can have some price. Free Software should be held as software without any vendor-lock-in, and with an ability to modify and share it.
