But it's certainly not because people think Free Software == Freeware.
It really depends on what do you mean with "people", I'm advocating within non coumputer related people and they do NOT understand difference beetween freeware/shareware/free software/open source/shared source/whatever ...
... when they know at all that software is something that exist without the machine and that Windows is not the only and first OS (when they know what an OS is) on the earth. Some simply do not realize that a game consolle or their microwave have a comupetr inside.
I just want to say: do not think people generally know what software is, pretending they know what Free Software is, is just too much :)
