      I prefer the term libre (free software, usually say software freedom) but there is a related disagreement regarding Copyleft being more or less libre (GPL vs MIT).

        Who argues about copyleft and libre? The FSF and Stallman are clear about libre meaning the same as free.

        MIT is just as free/libre as GPL, but copyleft is the logical choice when you value user freedom.

          I mean I have seen many comments over the years in favour of MIT over GPL because ‘it gives more freedom’ without the restrictions imposed by GPL’s copyleft. This is just anecdotal so maybe not many have that view.
