Yes. You can use swaatantrya instead of swatantra. But what I am requesting is please donot use Mukta for Free software in kannada. It is perfect if you use 'ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ' instead of 'ಮುಕ್ತ' . 'ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ' ಪದವು 'ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ' ಎಂಬ ಪದದಿಂದ ಉದ್ಭವಿಸಿದೆ ಎಂದು ನಿಜವಾಗಲೂ ಮನದಟ್ಟು ಆಗಿರುವವರು 'ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ' ಎಂಬ ಪದವನ್ನೇ ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿದರೆ ಅದರಿಂದೇನೂ ನಷ್ಟವಿಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇದು ಫ್ರೀ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಮತ್ತು ಓಪನ್ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಗೊಂದಲ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಮುಕ್ತ ಎಂಬ ಪದವು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಫ್ರೀಡಂ ನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುವಾಗ ಓಪನ್ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ನೊಡನೆ ಗೊಂದಲ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ತಪ್ಪಾಗಿ ಮನದಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡರೆ ಭಾರಿ ನಷ್ಟ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆ ಒಣ ಹರಟೆಗಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಅಥವಾ ನನ್ನತನವನ್ನ ಸಾಧಿಸಲು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆ ಮತ್ತು ಫ್ರೀ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಗಳ ಕಾಳಜಿಯಿಂದಷ್ಟೇ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. > the reason for this was -- as i told previously many are using the word " > mukta" software to address "open source software " > which is wrong then ... > > Let us not bother about the fate of this. But word 'Mukta' has many meanings in the usage: free software, open software, liberation from this world itself, free from the debt, etc. And hence it would create confusion b/w free and open software. But swaatantrya or swatantra will not take you to such a confusing path.
