What does it mean "legally free"? What are those scary-sounding "illegally free" books? This term is not defined and it does not make any sense to me. The word "free" is already overloaded with two meanings (as in speech, as in beer), and now these people introduce confusingly the concept of "legally free".

Free - you don't have to pay money. Legally - to emphasize it is not pirated books, to differentiate with many articles claiming to show free books when they in reality show links to pirated materials

Most recent books are "illegally free" through standard piracy channels, so this effort to find out good books that can be downloaded without restrictions makes a lot of sense. It's a great community initiative.
