Subject: What do you call the new freeform RPG?

Since we've had many years of RPG/Free meaning freeform C-specs, how do you refer to the new freeform? I ask because ever since the new freeform came out, I've found that I've had to differentiate between RPG Free and what I've poorly dubbed "fully freeform RPG."

I'm sure there will come a time when there is no need to differentiate, but at this time if an RPG programmer says they know RPG Free, until told otherwise I assume they do not know the new freeform syntax.

Thoughts?
