Hello, It depends. Strict translation of "open source" would be "código aberto" and, indeed, it is sometimes used in institutional conferences. In ordinary conversations, I never use "código aberto" (always "open source") but "free software" is translated as "software livre".
Karl decided to freely interchange "open source software" with "free software", as can be seen from the title and subtitle. So, I decided to write "open source software" the same as "free software" (i.e. "software livre"). Confusing, right? :) You raise an interesting issue. Is every translator writing "open source" in the title? At least the french translation uses "libre". What do you think, Karl?
