So as far as I get your point, you read in the magazine that "Free Software" can be "Non-Free" or "Proprietory".
It's not. There are hundreds of Phokat software which are non free and proprietory.
This is just ridiculous.Either I'm not getting you point or the writer who said so needs to do some more reading and research on the issue.
I think the piece needs to be read in context to make proper sense. But as it stands the statement is absolutely correct.
