Free as in Beer, doesn't have meaning to me. Beer isn't free, you buy it or sell it or
make it. Maybe that is what is meant - you can buy it, sell it, or make it. I don't
think you can patent it, even if it is your special batch, but you can give it to your
friends and it goes good with pizza. So the comparison of beer to free software is a
bit vague to me.
