Which always irks me, because we already have a great word to mean "Free as in Freedom", and that is: "Freedom."

I'd love if we could start calling free software, Freedom Software. Think of the benefits to the FLOSS PR movement!

I actually e-mailed rms about this, he said they considered the name but couldn't use it because of a trademark. I say to hell with that: the needs of the many, and all that! Freedom Software for all!
