It's really a lot more than free source code. It means
freedom, not just price. It means that no one owns the
operating system or it's source code. It is given to
you for free and you are obliged to give it away with
the same rights as given to you. You may change it if
you like, use it and give it away. This is a very simple
explanation of a complex subject.

This is just the opposite of a license that is common
with software which restricts it's use. This is an
unrestricted right of the software.
