[Trisquel-users] Re : How Open Source is slowly changing the world...

Although I am a big free software supporter, I have to admit that the term  
itself just doesn't work.  99% of the population equates it with freeware,  
software available at no cost, and who could blame them.  You cannot search  
for it in a search engine without being swamped by results pertaining to this  
common sense definition.  It's unfortunate that the English language contains  
this ambiguity.  In my native language (French), this ambiguity does not  
exist: Logiciel Libre.  I understand where the open source crowd is coming  
from, in terms of rebranding the concept.  The FSF should be renamed the LSF  
(Libre Software Foundation) :).
