in English, the word "free" has not served well.. suggested alternative "libre" ... oh, except LOSS does not sound great! seems challenging right now.. "free" has failed IMHO .. it is literally mocked by finance people no? every adult in the US and elsewhere must pay bills.. "free" is failing as a label

Probably should have called it "freedom software" like "freedom fighter" or "freedom units" (as opposed to metric units).

    The 'free' in free software has a very relevant meaning that cannot be represented adequately by the alternative word 'fair'.

Free Software has been wildly and unimaginably successful, and undergirds the world economy.
