@shamar @mala @fsfstatus The FSFE's position on the terminology can be found here: https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/basics/comparison.html
We cannot speak for our independent sister organisation FSF.
We cannot speak for our independent sister organisation FSF.
After all for years I've heard people saying that #OpenSource is about #source, not #values.
But if the term is taken to identify the same thing that #FreeSoftware indicates, we can just peek another word.
But we need a word for this attitude, this Culture, so that projects can use it and developers can freely, but consciously, ponder to donate their time and skills to these projects.
Not having a word, instead, fools #programmers that are the #heart of #FreeSoftware
