The acronyn "FLOSS" (for "Free/Libre and Open Source Software
Development") is also common among academic researchers
studying the field. There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of
refereed papers published on the topic. Presumably
Carver et al. want to add to this list, and I expect their
papers will do a good job covering free/libre software,
now that they have a heads-up from RMS.
For recent and potential future work in this booming area of
academia, please see:

know.
