Free Software vs. Librous Software

Hi,

  I'd like to coin a term, that term being "librous software".
It means the same thing as "free software" ("free" as in speech).
The advantage of using the term "librous software" instead of
"free software" is that now you won't have to explain over and
over untill you're blue in the face the difference between "free
as in speech" and "free as in beer".

  One reason we're having so much of an uphill battle in Linux
advocacy is that no matter how many times we set the record
straight on this ambiguity, people still get confused. It's
about time we have a term that means the same thing, but which
is free (no-pun-intended) of this ambiguity.

     Thanks,
          Adam
