Freedom Software?
Beats Open Software because open is still ambiguous to non-technical people.
"Freedom Apps" if you truly want to talk to the masses.

Libre software (as in Liberty).
I should have said why I'm against "Libre" as a term. I'm into FOSS, so I get it, and speak other languages, so I get Libre has a wider adoption elsewhere. But not in the English-speaking world. And I'd guess that was the target "primary market" over, say, France. Free is typically cost-free, as in beer as they say, and freedom can only be "liberties and rights", not cost. So imo Freedom is a solid choice. There is likely a better choice, but if we're keeping things simple, that'd be one approach.

Is this your only problem? Sounds fixable to me, just like term "free software" works relatively well.
