Please go through the mail.. the context in which I use the word Movement is not in the context that u r mentioning..

I was not referring to the Movement, but to the word alternative. Because there is no alternative to freedom. We should use "replacement to proprietary software" rather than "alternative to proprietary software". There are many alternatives to some Free Software like Thunderbird is an alternative to Evolution or Kontact. But Thunderbird is a replacement to Outlook Express. I hope it is clear now.

RMS reminds us to be careful about every word we use. Some other words to be careful about are given here http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html
