People new to #FreeSoftware assume it's "free as in free beer". #OpenSource misses the point - it's about the freedom (and for so many in India, "open source" = "free as in free beer" 😮💨🤦♀️). #Libre is unfamiliar and not self-explanatory.
That's why I call it #FreedomRespecting software. Can we all please switch to that?
