Given that everyone is taking about why Free Software (and our new license) is a good idea...perhaps it's worth bringing up the fellowship conference that is going to happen shortly in Italy!
Yep, talking about Free Software is what we all like to do :) But there is a strong need to talk to others that never heard of 'free software' except from spam messages.
Won't people instead be talking about "software libero"? Do Italians really see a lot of spam mentioning that?
The whole "free software" money-and-freedom problem is special to English only. The FSF recommends that speakers of other languages use the more precise term available in their own language.
