: I'm not sure we ''must'' decide for a single name. Two names seem like a reasonable compromise as it will be very hard to please everyone with a single phrase. Some prefer a term which is pragmatic and neutral ("free content"), others may prefer one which is artistic and natural ("free expression"?). "Creation" is a controversial term within the GNU/FSF world; see the [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html Words to Avoid] page on GNU. Then again, so is "content". I personally like "free content" because it is already in use with the meaning we apply to it, especially in the Wikimedia world. I would be very reluctant to give up that part.--[[User:Erik Möller|Erik Möller]] 15:10, 4 May 2006 (CEST) | : I'm not sure we ''must'' decide for a single name.
