You've nailed it, this is a slogan for english computer jargon speakers. In other words a slogan for hardcore technophiles. I don't think we want to restrict our audience to hardcore technophiles (at least one of our major derivatives, OLPC, doesn't)
I think it's going to be nearly impossible to come up with one slogan that works across the world and isn't so completely generalized and/or incomprehensible (make up your own words) to make any kind of impact to anybody in any language.
So again I ask, what is so terrible if English printed stuff uses 'Freedom is a Feature' and things printed in other languages use a slogan that is suitable for that language? I would hope and expect that the English speaking constituents wouldn't block a slogan in another language just because it may translate poorly to English, so I expect the return.
