Stop splitting hairs over the meaning of 'free' in this context. It is free to the end user, it is not free to the developer or maintainer.
I make christmas hampers for the poor, I call them free hampers. Of course they are not free, but to the end user they are.
And no, people are not going to start using the word libre, it is not an English word and it is not used widely enough outside of computing and it will probably not catch on.
