Ok, I'm sorry, I was wrong since the beginning in this bug.
(I was sure that the licence value in the app-detail-view was "Free" in English, but in fact it was "Open source" ><)

Sorry for the waste of time and digital ink.
I just fixed the French translation.

Title:
  English descriptions should distinguish free as in "freedom" or "free
  beer" to avoid translation issues

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This may be a translation bug :
  Non-free softwares as Adobe Flash Plugin 10 (the package version is flash 11, another bug ?) and skype are marked as "libre", but they are not  pieces of free software.
  For languages which have two different words for "free" (as in "free beer" or as "freedom"), the translation should be fixed to avoid any confusion.
