"Open source" means free software (roughly), but without the ethical
concept of freedom that the Free Software Movement is based on.
How about spreading awareness of free software and freedom, rather than
open source?

See http://gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
for more explanation of the difference between free software and open
source.  See also http://thebaffler.com/past/the_meme_hustler for
Evgeny Morozov's article on the same point.
