I'm not sure which world you're living in, but I'm fairly sure it's
not the same one as me. In my world, outside of our community, the
term "free software" means free beer, not free speech, despite the
best efforts of the FSF. More people associate "open source" with
the OSD than associate "free software" with freedom.
