I don't feel the need to talk about "open soure" on depian-project at the moment. But if you do, don't forget the origins. A good summary is at http://oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/raymond2.html. It is really worth reading from first hand what the intentions of the Open-Source-campaign are.
I especially like this bit: "It seemed clear to us in retrospect that the term "free software" had done our movement tremendous damage over the years. Part of this stemmed from the well-known "free-speech/free-beer" ambiguity. Most of it came from something worse--the strong association of the term "free software" with hostility to intellectual property rights, communism, and other ideas hardly likely to endear themselves to an MIS manager." And so I will stay with the communist term "free software". Werner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
