[FOSS-Nepal] Re: न ेपालीमा FOS S

+1 to Prabin. He is absolutely right at saying that. You actually misunderstood the meaning of "FREE" here. It's a coincidence that many Free and Open Source Software are available free of cost, but NOT ALL. There are some for which you actually need to pay. Moreover, such softwares charge you for service, not the software itself (e.g. See Red Hat Subscription Model).

You misunderstood FREE in FOSS..... FREE refers to FREEDOM and not COST. Thus we generally say...FREE as in FREEDOM not BEER.

Hence, FREE in FOSS means स्वतन्त्र ।
FREE Software was coined at FSF because of 4 freedom it provides...

स्वतन्त्र ta free student union ko lagi upyukta phrase huna sakchha hola tara yehan free bhaneko ta not paying money bhanne hunchha hola. स्वतन्त्र manchhe bhannu ra free software bhannu farak kura hoinan ra ? Aru sathiharu ko ke chha bichar.

 

FREE Nepal does not refer to Nepal is Free of cost. So we must understand Free as we refer to Nepal as to software.

Cheers
