Normally if I am telling someone about a piece of software, I just call it by 
it's license - "Try so-and-so, it's GPL'd", or "Try this, it's under the BSD 
license". If it's obvious that they won't understand what I'm talking about 
(and usually it is), I follow up with a two line summary of the license in 
question :-)

If I have to choose between Free Software and Open Source, I normally choose 
Open Source because the capital F in Free Software which distinguishes it 
from free software is really hard to pronounce... ;-)

Cheers,
Jason
