It's not clear which meaning Donald was using.

Spanish has two different words for "hot".  You could say, "This food is 
calente", or say "This food is picante."

In the Free Software world, "free" has two meanings.  There's "libre" and 
"gratis."

A whole bunch of misunderstandings, especially at the pointy-haired boss 
level, have come from confusing the two.

I've always maintained the OpenBSD guys have a better name than use FreeBSD 
guys for that exact reason.
