But libre mean "free" in French whereas there is no such word in English. Why would it not be more easier for us French speaking peoples?

FWIW, I think the closest English analog would be 'liberated', a synonym of 'free', though not that this a substantial improvement.
That's not what I meant. What I meant is that it is harder to guess how to pronounce it to people that do not know French!
