"Why switch to Bazaar?" document should talk about free software rather than open source.

[Nick Bowler]

The document "Why Switch to Bazaar?" found at
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/migration/en/why-switch-to-bazaar.html is
perhaps the first document that users interested in Bazaar are likely to
encounter, as the very first paragraph on the Bazaar main page links to it.
This document uses the term "open source" no fewer than 4 times (twice in
reference to Bazaar itself), while the term "free software" appears nowhere.

As Bazaar is an official GNU project, I'm sure you're aware of the problems
with the term "open source" as opposed to "free software"
(https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html) in that it
devalues user freedom by focusing exclusively on the development model.

I think that free software deserves at least a mention in such a prominent
user-facing document of a GNU project.

Cheers.

I suspect that section was written before bzr became a gnu project.
At any rate it should and can be updated. Would you like to propose a
merge for it?
