I like the term freedom respecting software that someone mentioned. I think, in some sense it makes more sense than free software, something that someone could easily confused with software that has no upfront cost (aka freeware), like for instance those "free to play games" with micro payments and no source code, or certain chat software that is popular and has zero cost, but doesn't supply the source code either. I'm not sure we need a word like vegan. I mean, being a vegan can be problematic from a number of perspectives that would be more equivalent its more like someone like RMS who doesn't have a face book account, only uses a computer with a free -bios, has no java script turned on all the time, would rather get lost for days rather than use proprietary gps etc. Ironically, a lot of people like the Amish and people in the third world might fall into this category, not because they know and care about software, but because they either don't have or don't want access to it to begin with, (until they get a cell phone that is.)
