I am not a native English speaker, but I think that "liberty" - which
has the same root of libre - is not pronounced as "laiberty". I have
heard many native English speakers pronounce libre, and they all
pronounce it the same way.

What, pray, is «the English pronunciation of "libre"» ? If the first vowel
is to be pronounced as «aɪ» as in, say, «live», it differs vastly from the
customary pronunciation in almost all European languages - Germanic as well
as Romance - which is much closer to «iː», and can hardly serve as «the
reference for every language»....
