Not that it is ideal, but if they reject a full replacement to "free
software", maybe they'd consider "free/libre and open source software".

I'm not fond of "free and open source software" because (as an
increasing trend) often times when I read it, it means "free as in beer
and open source software", and this is what users are trained to
recognize.  But that's also better than just "open source", and can be
supplemented with a hyperlink on "free" to point to
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html>.

Unless you disagree, Richard.
