Not free as in 'free to modify' but 'free of cost', though any 5.5MB
download which requires a reboot and "will expire on January 1, 2007"
isn't welcome on my desktop. YMMV.

Yes, that would be the generally accepted meaning of the word, "free."

As used in this example: "give your hard work away 'free' to some
insensitive jerk who slams you for doing so."
