It's being able to do and say what you want within reason without an authority trying to unduly impose oppressive restrictions on you.

Ah, so you say nulber 2. What makes something oppressive, then? What defines within reason?

Limiting free expression/speech beyond threatening/encouraging violence is oppressive. 

Within reason as in common sense laws like don't murder, steal or rape others or destroy other's property.
