It's a matter of perspective. Free will means that my choices are made by myself, not by someone or something else. The computer that determines my actions is me; therefore, I make my own choices and I have free will. In addition, this is true of everything in the universe. Choice in the sense of free will is not meaningful when applied to a nonsentient being, therefore sentience is both necessary and sufficient for free will, therefore free will is equivalent to sentience.
