First and foremost Free Software Movement avoids the word "closed" and uses the word "Non-free" and "Proprietory" for the softwares which doesn't value your freedom or have four freedoms as told again and again by RMS and others. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Closed So as far as I get your point, you read in the magazine that "Free Software" can be "Non-Free" or "Proprietory".This is just ridiculous.Either I'm not getting you point or the writer who said so needs to do some more reading and research on the issue.
