It depends on whether you are talking about software that happens to end
up as free, or software that has been conceived in the course of the
free software movement as initiated by the Free Software Foundation.
The whole point of freedom is that it gives room for different
motivations. But that does not make it a conglomerate of the different
motivations it admits.
