DeVault: Reforming the free software message

I frankly think one reason for this is that "free software" is just a bad and confusing name for the thing. I grant that in the absence of the libre/gratis distinction in English, it may be that no better term that emphasizes the things RMS wants to emphasize exists, but that doesn't make it not a bad name, and to me it makes sense for people who have slightly different views of what the core of the ideology is to opt for a term that is much less confusing.
