Software should be free, but not autographs

One of the problems of the English language is the dual meaning of the word
"free". RMS has never advocated "free" as in zero price.
'"Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price". From FSF
I do not object to RMS charging for his autograph or picture, especially if
the funds go to an organization like the FSF (or the IFSF).
