- chmaynard 6y agoHence the ambiguity.
- coldtea 6y agoWell, it's the Open Source that is ambiguous then, as it came later as a term... (which, co-incidentally, is one argument of the free/libre software guys too)
- chasil 6y agoSomewhat prior to then renaming, the "Open Software Foundation" was formed by a consortium including IBM, HP, and DEC. This was done because of an uncomfortably close embrace between Sun Solaris and AT&T System V Release 4. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Software_Foundation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Software_Foundation UNIX on DEC Alpha was originally named OSF/1.
