Found this on the net: http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/

Following on from the announcement that the 7.10 version of Ubuntu will be codenamed 'The Gutsy Gibbon', project leader Mark Shuttleworth has described a completely free version of the distro. This Ubuntu flavour will not include firmware, drivers, images, sounds and applications that do not adhere strictly to Free Software principles. The distro will be produced in collaboration with gNewSense.

I tough Feisty Fawn was going to be free?

Free has two meanings in English:

1) No charge - Ubuntu will always be cost $0.00. (In French, gratuit)

2) Liberty - In GNU/Linux terms, this means that no proprietary software is included. (In French, libre.)
