Bug description:
  Hi,

  while translating unity-lens-applications, there is a string that in
  may different language is hard to translate correctly (and can lead up
  to long discussions).

  The string is: "Free".
  The difficulty here is understanding if the string means "free as in speech" or "free as in beer". A translator comment just before the string would me much appreciated in this cases.

  The Ubuntu Software Center uses something like this to clear the meaning:
  TRANSLATORS: Free here means Gratis
  TRANSLATORS: Free here means Libre

  The string is located in src/daemon.vala.
