I think Emacs should emphasize the fact that it's Free rather than
gratis and the underlying ideas of freedom and the copyleft technique to
enforce it.

Sorry, I looked at the "About Emacs" page rather than the startup page
(which I have disabled in my .emacs).

But the average users won't necessarily know it and they'll (rightfully)
think "an editor shouldn't be so complex that I'd require help right
from the start" so they won't do C-h and won't get to see that
extra info.
