What is open source?
Exactly. I've been using the term "freedomware", an obvious and equally
unambiguous shorter form of "freedom software" in my own writing for some
time -- since "libre software" aka "libreware" first hit the spotlight.
It's especially effective (and controversial, but it does get the point
across) when used in combination with "slaveryware".
My newsgroup and mailinglist signature is an RMS quote that reinforces and
clarifies the meaning as well.
