It's from French, not from Spanish, and besides, everybody knows what the intentions are here so I don't think you need to feel offended in any way, that's your choice.

chill, I'm not offended, just thought it was worth mentioning it sounds bad to native speakers. Wouldn't you mention it if someone was misusing a Dutch word?

Also, it comes from French and Spanish [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html], it's the same word and same grammar, subject before adjective.
