Free? Or Freedom?
Linux (or Gnu/Linux, as RMS would have me say) is Free Software.

(Technically, a given copy of the Linux kernel may not be entirely Free, as it may contain some proprietary binary “blobs” to aid in wireless network connectivity and certain video card drivers.) Indeed, several totally “Free” distros exist,and several popular distros also provide Free versions.
