Title:
  Free licenses sould be tagged as "Libero" instead of "Open source" in
  italian translation

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Here in Italy we have a word, namely "Libero", which means "Free as in
  `Free speech`". In Natty Software Center tags free software licenses
  as "Open source", but this idiom has a debatable meaning, at least
  here in Italy where english is not a widely understood language, and
  Microsoft did a good job on confusing people between open source and
  shared source. If you were to ask OSI, "Open source" basically means
  "free as in free speech", but here few people know OSI and most ones
  translate Open Source literally as "sorgente aperto", which meaning,
  once literally translated, clashes with the meaning of "Shared
  source".

  Sure enough, anyone reading "Open source" understands he has not to
  pay, but there's still a strong point in using the word "Libero"
  instead, both because it is an italian word and because it is the
  correct one.
