Alright, we're discussing "open" vs "free". Right now I don't care too much about semantics..

For anyone reading this that don't know what we're on about , read --> http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.h...

(edit: I generally agree with RMS's points. I might confuse "open" and "free". For anyone not native to English these words might be interchangeable. I'm not a native English speaker. It becomes clearer when you define the words such as done in http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.h... , but in a day to day conversation, it's easy to get the exact definitions wrong)



"Alright, we're discussing "open" vs "free"."

No, we're not discussing one thing vs. another, we're discussing different things. That is a whole other situation entirely.
