> The testament for its effectiveness is the visceral revulsion it evokes from "entrepreneur" types. Exactly. It is interesting to me that GP uses the word "open source" while entirely missing the point of free software [1], and how copyleft licenses were designed to resist corporations taking from the commons without contributing back from the start. > “Free” and “open” are rivals for mindshare. Free software and open source are different ideas but, in most people's way of looking at software, they compete for the same conceptual slot. When people become habituated to saying and thinking “open source,” that is an obstacle to their grasping the free software movement's philosophy and thinking about it. If they have already come to associate us and our software with the word “open,” we may need to shock them intellectually before they recognize that we stand for something else. Any activity that promotes the word “open” tends to extend the curtain that hides the ideas of the free software movement.
