This blog's article introduces serious confusions about FOSS movement. Table reflects poor study when classifies Linux (and not GNU) as an operating system, while Android is Linux-based too.
"Open source" only means consumers can see the design. Nothing more about freedom. Many JavaScript programs can be understood as Open Source while them are proprietary-licensed. "Proprietary software is created and sold by a corporation" -> Same as RedHat Linux, Virtuozzo, QCAD, etc. (all FOSS) "Open source software (OSS) is created by a community of software developers (programmers)" -> Most of OSS and FOSS programs are created by a single person per project. With the 4 enumerated freedoms it tries to simulate equality between OSS and FOSS and "free as in beer".
