I really don't like the name, either. Very sadly, I agree it does seem to bring a whiff of manipulation -- Freedom Fries, anybody?
As for connotations with the term, they are indeed all over the free software world, not at all with this project in particular. So "DemocracyOffice", "Democracy eBook Reader", "DemocracyBlog" or "Democracy Printer Drivers" would be just as justified and just as grating.
Though, come to think of it, the term "Free" is really overworked in our world, so some help could come in handy.
