Freedom. A human condition that arises from a generous sufficiency of food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, civil and religious liberties, and employment opportunities. It is a self-limiting condition; it breeds no desire for excess, whether material, behavioral, or political. A truly free person or nation sees that in a world of finite resources the drive for disproportionate wealth and power necessarily exploits or subjugates others and thus betrays humanity’s first principle.

No wonder their definitions aren't in general use. Here's a definition of freedom that has nothing to do with being free. By that definition, a well fed cow in a pen has freedom.

Of course, the actual definition is the absence of undue restrictions.
