I think that's both naive and wishful thinking. Like a BSD vs GPL argument, one can have many definitions of what constitutes freedom.
Is BSD more free because it places no restrictions, or is the GPL more free because it guarantees freedom to those further on in the chain?
I'm not going to attempt an answer because it's the stuff of decades of internet flamewars. Similarly I don't think that libertarian freedoms are necessarily the only definitions, particularly as they seem to enshrine ownership of land and property as absolute, which come at a cost to the freedoms of others to make use of land or possessions. (I'm not looking for a debate on why that may or may not be right or wrong, simply to establish that what makes someone or something the most free is not 100% clear cut)
So no, we can't really agree on a definition of free or freely.
I think if you ask 10 people on the street which definition of freedom is correct, all 10 of them would agree with mine. But in any case, you know what I mean by 'freedom'. I've given enough context to make that clear. My conception of freedom, by any other name, would still be my conception of freedom. What word you want to assign to is immaterial to the essence of my point.
I don't feel this discussion can proceed constructively anymore.
Maybe, maybe not. You certainly frame your definition as if you believe it to be the only one. I believe that libertarians often frame their arguments as concerning freedom, as we in the west tend to believe freedom is unequivocally the best thing. It's the hidden assumptions and definitions about freedom as defined in libertarian thought which I find interesting, and biased.
Sure, now looking at property rights where it comes to land, if I want to set up house in your wheat field, and you stop me, are you not impinging on my freedom?
