This is the clear winner: it's cheeky, poignant, compatible with current acronyms, and pithy. Communicates very clear intent and doesn't confuse. "Libre" is the opposite of all of those things.

Adopting the term Freedom Software can be done by you, today, at no cost. Everyone will understand what it means.

Messaging matters. Call it Freedom Software :)

That's been claimed by "freedom fries" I'm afraid.
