To counter act the "piracy" message that so many people are familiar with I usually describe Open Source software as publicly licensed.
It immediately conveys the idea that it belongs to all of us. It aligns the ideas with a public park, public works, public restroom, or anything else for the people, by the people.
Cynic - Like all things Open Source, building the community support for RIT's inititives has been a vital step. They work closely with OLPC, Sugarlabs.org, The Fedora Project, TeachingOpenSource.org and others.
It's been amazing for me to see the XO laptop as a catalyst for RIT really take off and grow into the FOSS community.
