Thanks Seth for introducing "free source" term, I will
use it where appropriate, and also try and talk to
people about "free software", but I might be forced to
use "freedom software" depending on context. We'll
see.

you should use the term "free software" to describe
and identify what you're talking about and where
you're coming from in a way that just says how it
should naturally be.

"Free source" strongly implies free as in freedom.
saying "free" about "source" rather than "compiled
binary" takes away any confusion that lets it sound
like it means "free as in beer."
