That is my impression, though it is also right that we have such increase of usage of free software, after 2 decades of observation on my side. > > [1] No one cares about the theoretical distinction between open > > source and libre. > > The expression "No one" in the English language means exactly what > it says on the tin.

That people do care there are evidences all over Internet in their software licenses and how they express themselves, though I consider all of us friends who go more or less practically into same direction of having free software and thus freedom. Some will complain more and be louder, some will not complain at all and play their free or non-free games on proprietary or free systems, though we are all one quite distinguished group of free software users.
