I was only referring to the portion of this document:

	http://www.netbsd.org/Goals/redistribution.html

which says, in part:

   [....] However, because the people working on the NetBSD Project
   are committed to providing a free operating system, [....]

Perhaps further clarification should be made to that document to define
the term "free", esp. if it does not mean, in part, "freely available,
freely redistributable, and freely modifiable source code".
