Re: Bug#106720: French translation: libre vs gratuit

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

The french translation of this application translates 'free software' into
'logiciel gratuit' instead of 'logiciel libre'.  Here's a patch to fix this.
Please forward it upstream as well.  This is a serious issue since it
confuses GNU's philosophy.

The french FSF web site
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.fr.html) says "libre
software": "A propos du logiciel libre"
