There is a basic problem with the term 'libre software' in the UK.

It's embarassing to admit ...  but I don't really know how to
pronounce the word 'libre' properly.  And I wouldn't be entirely sure
which language it comes from either.  And if I didn't know about free
software, I wouldn't know what it meant.

So, there are a few minor barriers to using that term here ;-)
