gollark: Um, it does mean that? Or at least freedom from some sets of consequences. If I tell you you're free to eat some chocolate or something, then punish you for it when you do, I think this is stretching "freedom" somewhat.
gollark: As in, the Indian one is here and apparently a problem.
gollark: And the UK. What joy.
gollark: I fear that having official classes on it would end up dragging all the horrible school baggage along, like having *exams* on it, and going for stuff which is easy to test over good, and such.
