The author proves the following Theorem. Let \(R\) be a ring which has no additive torsion. If \(a,b\in R\) and \(a^2=b^2=0\) while \(ab\) is not nilpotent then \(1+ma\) and \(1+mb\) generate a free group if \(m\) is a sufficiently large natural number. He gives an additional condition on \(R\) which allows one to estimate \(m\) and also gives some applications of the theorem.
