    But, that is first time I ever saw a site use the expression "Powered by 
    Free Software"

It is a good thing to boost awareness of free software.  However, that
expression has more than one possible meaning.  It could mean that
*all* the software running the server is free, or it could mean that
only *some* of the software running the server is free.  One cannot
tell which.

We should encourage people to say things which are unambiguous
about this.
