Access to software: free vs commercial

[oheim]

The section talks about software that is “free” as well as “commercial” software. I am not sure whether this is about free as in freedom (or just gratis or freely available), since it is compared with commercial software, which is unrelated in general, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial

I suppose that “free” should be replaced by “gratis” and “commercial” be replaced by “non-free” in that section.

Thanks for this comment - we will discuss it.

We think this is sufficiently clear as written

I had the same doubt as @oheim while reading the paper.

Thanks. Maybe this is a cultural issue, where some like one set of words and some like another. If so, the solution is probably not to replace one set by the others but to use both. I'll reopen this so that it sticks around for a revision of the paper.
