Here, I mean the free and open the same way I mentioned.
Why the split, FSF and OSI? OSI is free, but why FSF is not open?
:(
Open source software is not free at all in many cases. For example,
the Microsoft Shared Source License is a non-free license, but it is a
Open source license. It is a non-free license since it disallows
commercial distribution. There are more such examples, see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html for a list of licenses
which are free and which are not.
Cheers.
