- publicfig 13y agoThat doesn't mean it's not worth mentioning. Just because you think most people will know something doesn't mean that's true, and I feel as though it's incredibly relevant to bring it up along side this discussion.
- ihsw 13y agoPersonally I had an idea of what it was, but it wasn't until yesterday that I was linked to gnu.org and read some of their pages. I'm sure most people on HN have an idea of what Free Software(TM) entails, but not actual quantifiable terms. Again, this is a personal opinion and I'm trying hard to avoid making inaccurate broad-sweeping and baseless generalizations.
