Communication is about, umm, conveying meaning to the people you
are conversing with. If you go about redefining words to have special
meanings known only to you, and contradict the meanings commonly given
to that word; you are not really exercising freedom; you are just
mis-communicating, and in the process, giving the audience a false
impression of the status of the Linux kernel.
Imagine if I have redefined all the words I use, and the
paragraph above means in normal English "Today is Monday".
