In practice, for software to be distributed as free software, the human readable form of the program (the "source code") must be made available to the recipient along with a notice granting the above permissions.

Not IE6/7 or Any media player MS has ever released is Free Software. - theaceoffire, on 04/18/2008, -0/+2Microsoft wants you to have THEIR free software, no one elses.
Slight but important difference. - sirhomer, on 04/18/2008, -2/+3No, free software refers to free[dom] software, software which you are free to modify and distribute. Freeware is what you might be thinking about.

Microsoft - Free as in free beer
Open source community - Free as in free beer and freedom. - ashishmohta, on 04/18/2008, -5/+4not ironic. Actually they are free but you need to buy windows to run. MS does not charge you to have IE6 or IE7 or even media players Think again
- maranatha, on 04/18/2008, -5/+3No that would be Open Scorce software. Free software is software you don't have to pay to use.
- alinuxuser2, on 04/18/2008, -3/+0Ha! That's pretty ironic....
