An anonymous user expressed his/her opinion on fsf mailing list about renaming of the organization. He proposed a new name "Foundation for Software Freedom" which perfectly fits with the old acronym. Richard Stallman seems to be interested in the new name too!
Hopefully, we are going to see a new definition for FSF soon!
But what to do with "free software", that is the main problem is it gonna change to "software freedom" or what?

I actually use the term "open source software" when recommending a FOSS software to anyone to avoid misconception.
