Good question! When we say that LibreOffice is "free software," we
actually mean two different things:

1) It's free (as in no-cost) for you to use for as long as you like

2) It's Free Software[1], which means that you, as a user, are granted
the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the
software.

In most of our descriptions, when we say "Free Software" (capitalized
or not), we are talking about a matter of liberty, not price. To read

The Document Foundation, please let us know. We're glad to help!
