I think it would be better giving free software _any_ name, some
kind
of "nickname".
I find that with SME businesses 'free software' is the best term to
use, sometimes because of the confusion. If they've heard of 'Linux'
and 'open source' its been accompanied by loads of unwanted
incomprehensible techno-babble, 'who wants to know how a program is
made.' That free is about freedom, ethics and how that pans out in
practical business terms are of much more interest to them.
