   @cwebber Indeed I agree with you in that user freedom is better term to talk about. I have seen however, people twisting it, so as: "it's about runtime configuration", "... about choosing any license for my adaptation of the work". This is why I tend to say that software freedom comes first, through them is that people can exercise theirs to control the material environment.

     @adfeno I don't think "user freedom" is an alternative to "free software", which still falls under its umbrella, but user freedom also encompasses some other things like network freedoms and privacy... plus it's good to emphasize that the goal is not the freedom of developers as much as the freedom of users (who may *be* developers).
