I find it ironic how Open Source was originally coined to pitch the practical benefits of free [as in speech] software to business-types without having confusion between free-as-in-freedom and free-as-in-price and now Open Source has become so synonymous with free-as-in-price that it has essentially the same problem it was coined to solve.
