   Pardon my jumping in, but it does not seem particularly obnoxious or
   dishonest to me to have a short english word in front of ..Software
   Foundation instead prepending the name with a long paragraph explaining a
   host of details.

   The use of it is free, and that's what most people value, so I think "free"
   captures the spirit of this as well as any short common word can be expected
   to.

In retrospect, I wish we had name FSF the:
	Software Freedom Foundation
but it's way to late now.
