Hi everyone, in this discussion, as has been pointed out before, it's useful if people please remember this article, which is the comparison the FSFE points to officially when people ask:
https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/basics/comparison.en.html I quote a relevant part: > The Free Software movement is a large and diverse community. > People have different interests in Free Software and different > reasons to participate. But these differences don't necessarily > connect with the terms they use. A lot of people use the term > Open Source even while highlighting the social and political > dimension of Free Software while on the other hand there are > people in our community who prefer the term Free Software but > concentrate more on the practical benefits. Whether someone says > Open Source or Free Software isn't necessarily an indication of > their motivation. So please, no grouping of people based on what terminology they use. It is divisive and unnecessary. Best, -- Jonas Öberg Executive Director FSFE e.V. - keeping the power of technology in your hands.
