Sorry, I was thinking philosophy-wise. The Free Software people take a philosophical stance, saying that software should be free because it's evil to deny people the right to use software for anything and everything, or the right to see how it works. Open Source adherents take a more pragmatic approach, and spend their time creating great software instead of arguing theoretical points. We're more like OS in that we don't argue but just build the hardware. Both FS and OS people will be able to use it, since the concept of freedom that the former use does not apply to hardware, and because it works just great.
