There are three definitions of these terms which people commonly agree on: * The "Free Software Definition" of the GNU project: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html * The "Debian Free Software Guidelines": http://www.debian.org/social_contract.en.html#guidelines * The "Open Source Definition" of the Open Source Initiative (based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines): http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php Of course, these definitions are *slightly* different, but disallowing forks is not part of any of them. So, if you are using another definition, please refer to it, first. cu, Thomas }:o{#
