This is hilarious.  I guess that inspiration comes from a lots of directions.
I jokingly came up with libertyware (along with Torsten, I believe) for US
people since freeware and some of the other terms may sound too socialistic.
But freedomware works, too.  And it could be rationalized by:

    Freedom Fries
    Freedom Toast

So why not Freedomware (or freedom kissing and freedom ticklers ;)?

Sorry for adding noise to the thread, in advance.
