It\\\'s not a great example, but it is still redundant if \\\"gratis\\\" is simply one of several types of \\\"free\\\". It\\\'d be like saying \\\"chihuahua dog\\\".

That kind of example really shouldn\\\'t count anyway in my opinion. We already have the DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment.

Edit: Although as I have just had to painstakingly research, that trope is intended to be just for things with literal repetition, even though many other things could be called redundant; whereas this trope is actually the one for general redundancy, even though the name implies a much more specific kind of turn of phrase. Bleh!
