> The web service is not free,
What do you think it means to say a web service is free or not?
We have no definition for that. We don't use that terminology.
Our definition of "free" makes sense for _works_, not for services.
See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html.
Services raise totally different issues.
Therefore, I urge people NOT to call any service "free" or
"proprietary". It causes confusion.
