I have also thought about this potential problem when writing the text, but thought that we want people to speak (and think) *about* Free Software. This is furthered by using the term, I think.
Therefore I felt "about" was slightly better than "of" but people may disagree. Changing it gets harder every day because the companies are preparing their releases, so we should probably only change it if we feel it needs to be done or makes a major difference. What do you think?
