Hello, I've recently get promotional material (thank you very much for it!) and when I was reading leaflets, I've came across heading in Free Software leaflet[1] which have in my opinion quite big merit issue.
Heading says "Free as in Freedom not as in Free Beer". Capitalization of Free Beer pointing unambiguously to brewing project[2], which is 100% free as in speech. I suggest changing capitalization, or even example of "not free as in freedom" subject. I also want to start a discussion about capitalization in general. I permit myself to quote Michal Nazarewicz's mail from Translators list[3]: >PS. For the record I want to say that I hate capitalisation of Free >Software, Open Standards, etc. Even FSF stopped doing that, and IMO it >looks terrible especially in Polish. Yet, FSFE for some reason (perhaps >because it was started in Germany?) still uses that.
