   Person's freedom is diminished rather than enlarged by limiting his
   right to sell his property in exchange for money (i.e. at a
   positive price, not "no charge").

Free software does not limit anyones right to sell software that one
has written, it is in fact one of the requirements for something to be
classified as free software.  If you cannot use something
commercially, then it is non-free software.


As for your confusion of `inellectual propery' and `property' that is
understandable, many people confuse it.  I'd like to suggest that you
read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.xhtml
