That would be libre

"Libre" is just "Free" in Spanish.

In English, and especially in software, "libre" is often used to differentiate two meanings of "free": you know, ye olde "free as in 'freedom'" vs "free [libre] as in 'free beer.'"

Libre means free as in liberty in Spanish. "Gratis" means free as in beer.
