Not sure. In my understanding "We will license them freely" means that
"we license them while being/feeling free", i.e. the "freely" now refers
to the act of licensing instead of the result.

Compare: "I rate this runner quickly." (A quick act of rating) to "I
rate this runner as quickly" (A runnter with the rating "quick").
