Note that outside the tech world, "Open Source" has at least one other common meaning. In the intelligence world it is commonly available information (newsreports, published web sites, "readable by everyone" Facebook posts etc. That's to distinguish it from closed sources such as direct human intelligence (HUMINT), or signals interception (SIGINT) such as the NSA's cracking into FB, Google, et al.
I commonly use the term FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) to try and capture the broad set with the most precise edges and minimal ambiguity. -- Dr Andrew A Adams [email protected] Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/ _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
