"Freedom software" is incorrect, because "freedom" is a noun form derived from the adjective "free", and therefore the word "freedom" cannot be used to qualify the noun "software". Proper nouns are sometimes used as proper adjectives, but freedom is a common noun, and does not qualify as a proper adjective.
Are the following ungramatical? 1) "Freedom Rides" 2) "Freedom Train" 3) "Freedom Bus" All of the above were used in the civil rights movement USA. Choice of words must convey a message, and if gramatical rules need to be broken, so be it.
The free software movement has a long history now, and it is inappropriate to invent new phrases for a well known and widely used expression that clearly points to software released under the GPL and like free licenses.
True, for the technical community who already know about GNU/FSF. But I want to be able to talk to people who have no clue about software, and freedom is the word that resonates most easily. Also "free software" is only a part of the free software movement. I think the philosophy of FSM is more important. I want people to be thinking in terms of freedoms lost when using closed software, and more importantly to think about the bigger issue of copyright.
