[FC-discuss] Words, phrases, and the coining thereof

[Nelson Pavlosky]

* Free Culture
* Access to Knowledge
* Freedom of Information
* Freedom of Expression

Knowledge/information/culture.  Freedom/liberty.  Is there a term we 
could use that would encompass all of these concepts at once?  I believe 
that Students for Free Culture would tend to support all of the above 
concepts, but each of those four phrases has different connotations and 
none of them truly include all of the others.  

"Free Culture" may come the closest simply because we are part of the 
free culture movement and we are vaguely supportive of all of the above, 
but "free culture" does have connotations of caring about e.g. copyright 
and remix culture, and does not have e.g. the "open government" 
connotations of "freedom of information".  I frequently try to import 
all of the above phrases into "free culture" but I get the feeling that 
people don't really get what I'm talking about, since I am trying to 
shovel a truly insane amount of issues into a single overloaded term and 
few people are familiar with all of the issues I am trying to cram under 
that banner.  It may be better to use a neologism or bring forth an 
obscure little-known term rather than overloading "Free Culture".

Thoughts?
