   Pardon my jumping in, but it does not seem particularly obnoxious or

   host of details.

How about the word "Shared", then?  I think it communicates the facts
(if not the politics) better than "Free" does.  Too late now, though.

   In any case, the CopyLeft license can be easily obtained and read (As I'm
   sure you have), so I can't believe anyone is truly misled.

I can.  But in any case, people are now enticed to do battle by what
have become fighting words, which is a shame.
