The Free Software Foundation refers to free as in freedom and not free as in cost.
- yingbo 7y ago, while some others refers to free as free in cost. We should respect each other.
- saagarjha 7y agoIn this thread, I think we should use the more relevant definition.
- tw04 7y agoI'm aware of what the FSF is. Downvoting me because I posted free-as-in-beer alternatives that aren't open source is childish. They're valid alternatives for people that don't want to use zoom and entirely relevant to the conversation.
- tome 7y agoIt's as though the title was "Try these green ways to generate energy" and you responded with a list of petrol engines which are painted green. It's not wrong, it's not unhelpful, per se, but does somewhat miss the point.
- okprod 7y agoOP's post is about choosing free software alternatives in place of proprietary software that abuses your rights. You recommending more proprietary software is entirely against what the FSF's article is saying.
