`  :::: Sorry to stop you right here, but what you are engaging in advocacy and trying to prove a point to people. This is not the forum for this, as Wikipedia explicit forbids it (see WP:advocacy for more details).  Individual Word in a term can not be separated. for example, the term ``software community`` for example is not a community made of software (robots!), through that would be a dictionary meaning of the word software and the word community taken separately. See the Terminology, but to sum it up: Terms are words and compound words that in specific contexts are given specific meanings, meanings that may deviate from the meaning the same words have in other contexts and in everyday language. Free software is a term, that in specific contexts of software has a meaning that deviate from the meaning the same words have in other contexts and in everyday language. Sorry to say, but languages has terms, and will always have them, and if you want to advocate for the abolishment of terminology or change the meaning of Free software in the context of software, then this is not the place to do so. Even continue this discussion would just result in the comments being deleted for WP:FORUM.   `
