1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]: for free Said of a capability of a programming language or hardware equipment that is available by its design without needing cleverness to implement: "In APL, we get the matrix operations for free." "And owing to the way revisions are stored in this system, you get revision trees for free." The term usually refers to a serendipitous feature of doing things a certain way (compare big win), but it may refer to an intentional but secondary feature. [Jargon File] (1994-12-14)
