Free Software could be called 'sudanthira menporul' but does not sound good
I think we should not go by what people say about word sounding. I have heard many people say "Look here, GNU/Linux is not a good sounding word. Linux is easier on the tongue. Guhnoo, what is that?" The issue is, does 'sudanthira menporul' convey the meaning like GNU/Linux. Immediately upon seeing the word GNU/Linux, we are reminded about Free software and why the GNU Project was started for.
The word we choose for Free software should convey a message, like what GNU/Linux does for `freedom in computing'.
