You know “open source” has a very different meaning in China.

  Could you clarify?

  In China there exist several different terms. But hey, do most people even know the difference between Free Software and Open Source? It depends really on who you talk to; lets say a manager mostly will look at a cost perspective, while a software engineer might see benefits for integration, and even then mostly driven by the fact it is easily available, and perhaps even only consuming it. this is can also be different for most other places; Europe is more idealistic in the approach than America/US. Note: European; Now I live in Beijing/China, help projects with consultancy for open source, did this for many years for companies... and now work for Red Hat.
