While I applaud Free Software more than OpenSource, the latter has a better name that doesn't have the `free as in beer` ambiguity.

  To be fair "free speech" has the same ambiguity and people don't seem to mind.

    It doesn't have the same ambiguity because people generally don't think of buying speech.

      Yeah, we call that lobbying instead.

    "Free beer" is also ambiguous. I've been trying my best to free beer from its captivity for years.

  It does have the ambiguity about source being available though. E.g, many people consider Unreal Engine 4 to be open source because you can see and even modify the source code.
