Hi everyone,
The other day, I proposed the term "freedom software" as a less
ambiguous way to say "free software".
I've heard people's comments and criticisms about this, and I've
decided: I will not use it.
Instead, I will try to say "libre software" more often than "free
software". I will continue to say "proprietary software" when referring
to non-libre software.
I may say "freedom-respecting software", sometimes.
I wish to avoid confusion among new people, so I will avoid the term
"free software".
Thank you everyone for your comments.
