[Yavor Doganov]

What's wrong with "free standard"?  I always use this term and people
seem to understand clearly what it means.

just a policy -- it's the principle and the purpose.  Proprietary
software is fundamentally unjust and wrong, so when we have the
opportunity to place it at a disadvantage, that is a good thing. --RMS
