[Fsf-friends] Free(dom) Software?

[p.suresh]

We all know that  GNU kicked off the movement of  "free software"
with  the GPL licensing terms.This licence made sure that  any piece
of software distributed under GPL will remain "free". Thus GPL has a 
social control over the commercial exploitation  a product which is 
developed by collective effort and shared knowledge.

Therefore I think the term  'GNUware' may be used in place of "free 
software". The "GNU"  part serves as link to those who hear  it for the 
first time. Let us hope that the BSD people won't complain ;-)

Other suggestions are "peoples' software" and "social software"
