Hey Roger, GNUtian dak is in the "free software" movement, "free as 
in freedom" (and "freedom" as in the GNU Republic).

"Open"

Please avoid using the word "open" as a substitute for "free software". 
A different group, whose values are less idealistic than ours, uses 
"open source" as its slogan. If you are referring to them, it is 
proper to use their name, but please don't lump us in with them or 
describe our work by their label---that leads people to think we are 
their supporters.

P.S. Go to doctor and take RMS with you, dak.
