(the capitalization of Free originated in my proposal) Nonsense, Free-with-a-capital-F is a capitonym for being in-line with the Free Software movement, as opposed to other meanings of the word free. It gets to be capitalized because its meaning is being related to the specific proper-nown movement, rather than implied-by-context specific meaning of the generic word "free". Put another way, - "free" = any of the many dictionary definitions - "Free" = libre Much more dubious is the non-capitalization of "movement" in "Free Software movement". Ultimately, it comes down to which "style guide" you are following. I picked up this style when I was closely following the planet.fsfe.org feed from 2010-2013 ish. -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
