Please be careful with this: as far as I know, "Th??ng M?i" means
"Commercial" and that's not quite good because we *can* do commerce with
Free softwares!

And "Commercial" is one of the FSF official's "words to avoid"[1] by the
way...

It sounds far better, but I'm not sure if it's correct yet...

In fact it really depends if you want to follow the official FSF
wording[2] or not!

Following their definition, "proprietary software" means something
non-free or only partially free. So, with this definition, Open Source
*is* proprietary software, because it's not totally free!

Following the FSF definition, I think we'd better use something like
"kh?ng t? do".

But...

I'm not sure the FSF definition is the one most Vietnamese people want
to use today... They seem to be more interested in Open Source than Free
softwares... :-(
