- josephcsible 5y agoWhile they are indeed sightly different, I fail to see how the differences are at all relevant in this context.
- vurpo 5y agoThe differences between the two are extremely minimal, basically only relating to patent rights relating to the software. Go read https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html - the FSF's Free Software definition, and https://opensource.org/osd https://opensource.org/osd - the Open Source Definition (both by the respective parties that coined the terms and maintain them to this day) and see what the actual differences are. They're not many.
