		mtthwp on Aug 27, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Feedbin is Open Source Please pardon my poor reading comprehension skills, does "free as in freedom" equal free as in no monthly/annual fees? I hope not. I actually like to pay for feedbin as long as it means no ads and ensures my data isn't mined.

It (should) mean free as in libre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre#.22Free_bee...

"Free as in beer" and "free as in freedom" confuse me too, because beer sets you free, and freedom has no monetary definition for some people.
