All the terms we have suck for a different reason:

* free - b/c freemium or worthless

* open source - a term big companies who don't care about it like to use to project a positive image of themselves

* libre - imo the best term atm. However, it just doesn't sound alluring.

Idk, how about Freedomware ? ;)




How are you even supposed to pronounce "libre"? :D

I think the "big companies who don't care about it" thing is exaggerated. Who cares about what terms they use?
