To clarify, RedHat is DFSG-compliant (it's listed in Open Source products), and Debian is Open Source-compliant (Open Source definition is DFSG), but because DFSG targets non-commercial software (ironically the same software that appears on commercial Linux distros) and Open Source targets commercial software, this classification is correct but unintentional? <shaking head>
Products that are DFSG compliant are Open Source compliant, and vice versa. It's two names for the same thing. Suits understand `Open Source' better than they understand `Free Software'; they have a suspicion of anything that has `Free' in the name. On the opposite side, hackers understand `Free' better than `Open' because they associate `Open' with abominations like `The Open Group' that aren't open at all. What is the rationale for this distinction and why is it not stated explicitly? I hope I've clarified this a bit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
