Speaking as an Australian, a “Freedom” prefix makes it sound like yet another cheesy American grab at patriotism.

(This may come across as snark, but it seriously isn’t. “Freedom” anything has been polluted, IMHO)

And considering the US Department of Energy just started labeling fossil fuels as "molecules of freedom" and "freedom gas"(no joke)[1] it looks like that only gets worse.

Right, like Freedom units. The temperature is 74F, the F is for freedom

Molecules of freedom?

Perhaps bytes of freedom?

Sounds like Australia needs some Freedom(TM).

Speaking as an American, that's exactly what I first thought too.

Fair point. For what it’s worth I’m British (but expat in the States).

I generally refer to the general cause/movement as "software freedom". I sometimes call the software itself "freedom-respecting software".

like the "molecules of freedom" or "freedom gas" but then "programs of freedom" or "freedom software" ?
