At first glance, the word free delivers a somewhat negative feeling by implying that the quality of the free educational resources is low. It is true at some point, but there are exceptions as well. OER (I interpret OER as a movement) is one of the examples disputing that free educational resources can be of high quality.
At some point, however, free does not always mean it is open. The more important thing is that the word open in OER implies the proactive participation of users to reuse/remix/redistribute to keep improving the quality of OERs.
