It’s also used on wiki/VirtualBox/… Ha, that one was actually contributed through my instructions since the previous one looked imo even worse. There were no other Libre re-useable download buttons that I could fine. Hence, a new creation was made.
It’s saying “free download” because many laymen visitors don’t know if it’s free in price and often haven’t heard about Freedom Software. Years long insistence of the confusing term “Free Software” didn’t help to increase popularity, reduce confusion and it’s even worse in translations / for ESL.
It’s inspired by other proprietary “free download” buttons but re-created libre from scratch.
