Software Freedom is an ideology. Open Source is a definition.
- ianbutler 4y agoWell the trademark is going the way of bandaid, and definitions change regularly. Edit: I see you edited that part out.
- jdub 4y agoThe OSI definition hasn't changed. It barely changed what it borrowed from the Debian Free Software Guidelines before that. ("Open Source" itself isn't a trademark, but the OSI bits are, so I removed it to avoid confusion.) (There's no indication that the legal construction of a trademark is "going the way of the bandaid", or that bandaids are "going the way of the bandaid" for that matter.)
