Re: [Trisquel-users] Do you reject software labeled "open source" instead of "free software"

[Dave Hunt]

I wouldn't reject something GPL, just because it's called "open source", 
instead of "free software".  If something is both free and open-source, 
what about the term "foss"?  That would appear to eliminate confusion; 
maybe it's redundant, if anything free is, by necessity, open-source? 
In my experience, the term "free software" is often confused with 
"freeware", where the latter is often a crippled version of a commercial 
product.
