 <h3>Practical Differences between Free Software and Open Source</h3>
 
-<p>In practice, open source stands for criteria a little weaker than
-those of free software.  As far as we know, all existing free software
-would qualify as open source.  Nearly all open source software is free
-software, but there are exceptions.  First, some open source licenses
-are too restrictive, so they do not qualify as free licenses.  For
-example, &ldquo;Open Watcom&rdquo; is nonfree because its license does
-not allow making a modified version and using it privately.
-Fortunately, few programs use such licenses.</p>
