"free" in translation

[scootergrisen]

Where the word "free" is used in the source translation i would like comments to be added if it means libre or without paying money.

SMPlayer is open-source software and under the GPL license which allows users to redistribute and to modify the program, hence "free" means not only free of cost but liberty.

Yeah but it says "free" multiple times.

Of course it depends on the context, but when it comes to smplayer_web, I for one use the word that means "no cost" rather than "freedom" except where it's "free and open source" because that's more specific and intuitive, in hope that it would entice more new users that way.

I'm still waiting for comments to be added on Transifex so i know how to translate the word "free".

I can add comments to the po file but I'm not sure if they would be shown in transifex.

Anyway I think most of the time I wrote "free" in the web site it was with the meaning of "no cost". For the meaning of "freedom" I used "open source".
