> This is why I use the term "libre". It's unfortunate that we have to import French words into English in this way as it sounds pretentious but at least it's getting closer to being unambiguous. It's not like common English isn't chock full of French words already. Libre at least resembles liberty (case in point), which english-speakers fully understand. Spanish uses libre for free as well. Plus given today's marketing-speak dominated discourse, it's not even unusual to have a seemingly stylized variant of liberty naming something. So I'm ok with Libre substituting for Free as in free speech. At least it's not a Turbo badge on an EV's trunk...
