We have a way of describing this to deal with the various meanings of
"free" in English.

You are describing "free as in beer". Others are describing some of the
further meanings of "free" that FSF refers to

Freedom to use for any purpose; freedom to examine the code; freedom to
share; freedom to improve (and share those improvements).
