FIX: it's actually "service as a software substitute", not the other way around. FSF could benefit from catchier nomenclature, even the "free as in blah blah"

FIX: it's actually "service as a software substitute", not the other way around. FSF could benefit from catchier nomenclature, even the "free as in blah blah" is too complex for the knee-jerk thinking cultivated in consumers; why couldn't they have called it "freedomware" or some such, I can't help but wonder; it was born in the same epoch as "shareware", "freeware", etc. "Libre" is cute but causes associations with communism in the American public - same core userbase that is happy with shooting people in the name of "freedom", and would be proud to promote "freedomware", unlike today.
