Swatantrayam, swatantrata, swatantra, refer to freedom, the state of 
being free and free (as in freedom) respectively; and this word is 
used in *most* Indian Languages`.

Sowjanya is the term for "free as in beer".  This might not hold true 
for all Indian languages - in Hindi, for example, the work "mupth" or 
something like that.
