This means that the French translation should be corrected, and a few
translator comments should be added to the source code, so that future
confusion can be avoided.

Title:
  English descriptions should distinguish free as in "freedom" or "free
  beer" to avoid translation issues

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This may be a translation bug :
  Non-free softwares as Adobe Flash Plugin 10 (the package version is flash 11, another bug ?) and skype are marked as "libre", but they are not  pieces of free software.
  For languages which have two different words for "free" (as in "free beer" or as "freedom"), the translation should be fixed to avoid any confusion.
