We do tell people that is it Free Software, but we don't take time to
educate them that it is Free as in Freedom of Speech.

What I like to see is that on http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/help/
"Free help" is changed into "Community help"

On http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/help/free_help
Substitude "Help for Free" into "Help from the comminuty"
and s/Help for free is founded/Communities are founded/
so the first lines read:

 Communities are founded on the principle that we help each other.
 Nobody knows everything, and nobody is born with IT-knowledge.


The URL http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/help/free_help itself
may / can / should contain "free". We have to explain that "Free"
has several meanings. And that we have expenses, such as travell costs.

Most important that being a good community member is a good thing.
Like taking care of the enviroment, the space where we all live.

It is free because _we_ want it to be Free.
