> "On the other hand, open-source software has a less strict definition, and a different philosophy. You can also see the source code, amongst other things." No it doesn't. The Open Source definition is very much equivalent with that of Free Software, while having the virtue of being more clear, and I wish FS advocates would take the time to actually read it before talking nonsense. The political vs non-political aspects have nothing to do with their definitions, but with the organizations behind them. Also not sure what this had to do with the subject of the article.
