I know that ClamAV is GPL, but I'm pretty sure none of that other software is Free, just available at zero cost.  It would be a good idea for everyone to fully read the Software Freedom about page to fully understand the spirit of the day.  If you want to do a "help windows users move to Linux or use no cost software day"  that's fine, but let's not use http://softwarefreedomday.org/SoftwareFreedom Software Freedom day to do that.

we are already registered, we just need to decide what to do.  the 
previous years haven't been very Free, or educational (or evangelical), 
so almost anything we do will be better :)
