<big><bold> Why we speak about Free Software
What is this coding? It reminds me of what that nasty MS mail client does.
In many languages, the ambiguity of the term "free" does not exist. It may in others, including English, but that is easy to avoid by pointing out that free refers to freedom, not price.
Please don't burn me for saying this: the ambiguity *does* exist in English, so we who speak in English *must* modify our language in order to communicate our points clearly. Personally, I prefer the term "Software Freedoms" as an accurate translation of our aims into modern English... is that acceptable to FSFE?
