Many other languages have an unambiguous word for "libre", and can translate "libre software" directly.

- kube-system 6y agoI think this is a good solution. English is not a prescriptive language; loanwords are perfectly valid. Of course, 'OSI-license' is more accurate still, as they don't have a monopoly on 'libre' either. Many would say the WTFPL is accurately described as libre, even if OSI doesn't.
