Finally, Stallman also states ([1]) that supporters/followers/proponents --- and projects supporting/following --- free/libre software *philosophy* should avoid both "FOSS" (because of the misleading "free" part which reminds people of "gratis") and "FLOSS" (because it's too neutral).
Important to note is that he does prefer "FLOSS" for neutrality[2]:
Thus, if you want to be neutral between free software and open source, and clear about them, the way to achieve that is to say “FLOSS,” not “FOSS.”
We in the free software movement don't use either of these terms, because we don't want to be neutral on the political question. We stand for freedom, and we show it every time—by saying “free” and “libre”— or “free (libre)”.
