Free isn't necessarily all of the "free" memory you have left. Inactive counts towards that too, and active apps can be terminated as needed. iOS works in a "be as greedy as you want" philosophy in regards to memory.

Its normal. On most UNIX based systems, like iOS and Mac OS X, free memory is wasted memory.
