These issues are not limited to free software. Making it more general would avoid this name issue entirely. > That said, in contexts such as this, I'd be happy to switch from saying > "Free and Open Source Software" to saying "Free Software / Open Source > Software" or "Free, Libre, and Open Source Software", if you feel that > that would more fully acknowledge Free Software. If you want to mention both camps, "Free/Libre and Open Source Software" is always the best way to do it.
