The Free Software Foundation claims they "maintain" their own definition:
<http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html>

We maintain this free software definition...

Do not get me wrong... when speaking about a specific idea which is
important to you, as they are, it makes sense to be precise with how *you*
are using the key words. The fact they do this makes sense... but it is not
a standard dictionary definition, it is far more details and precise.
