Putting Skype, Opera and Ekiga, Firefox in a single basket of the "Free" category is detrimental both for users and the Free and Open Source Software movement as a whole.

It's detrimental for users, as they do not receive a thorough and full information on what they can and cannot do with the software. I.e. any user can copy Ekiga to an USB stick and give it to their friend; this is however explicitly forbidden in SKype's Terms of Service.

It is detrimental to the whole FLOSS movement because it dilutes the term "Free Software". Skype is NOT Free Software; Opera is NOT Free Software. Ubuntu is doing a great deal of damage to the community and to the whole ecosystem by not differentiating between "libre" and "gratis" - and frankly, should know better than this.
