Läs boken! :-)
''Because of the ambiguity of "free," people have long looked for
alternatives, but no one has found a better term. The English language has
more words and nuances than any other, but it lacks a simple, unambiguous,
word that means "free," as in freedom - "unfettered" being the word that
comes closest in meaning. Such alternatives as "liberated," "freedom," and
"open" have either the wrong meaning or some other disadvantage.''
