+The terms &ldquo;free software&rdquo; and &ldquo;open

+they say deeply different things about that software, based on
+different values.  The free software movement campaigns for freedom
+for the users of computing; it is a matter of freedom, principle and
+justice.  &ldquo;Open source&rdquo; values mainly practical
+advantage and does not campaign for principles.  Therefore, we do not
+advocate &ldquo;open source&rdquo; and do not use that term.
