alt Hacker NewsPlease don’t use the adjective “free” when describing proprietary software. We know you mean “free as in beer” but those outside our community may not and it may cause confusion over the meaning of free software.

if anything, "free software" should change its wording (when referring to freedom/libre).
there's no way you'll ever convince the masses who use software to not call it free or appeal to software that's advertised as "free".
