Not at all, they just use it to refer to price, not freedom. Which is why a new term was sought in the first place.

The vast majority of people who call it Free Software learned about that term through Open Source. Exactly as the people who coined the term intended;

As much as possible I talk about "software freedom" and describe software respecting it as "Free Code".
