Did you see this?

Yes. It does not contain a tangible definition. "Free Software companies
are companies that have adopted business models in which the revenue
streams are not tied to proprietary software model licensing
conditions." Does that mean a bakery is a free software company? Is
Slideshare a Free Software company, because it is not licensing
proprietary software? And once a business is labeled a "Free Software
company", what does that really mean? It is still not an entity
operating with the common good in mind.
And please don't get me started on the economics aspects of it :-)
Mirko.
