There is always cost to making software.
James is pointing out the meaning of "free" in this context. There is
an implication the software is also free of cost to use for an end
user.

I think there may be some confusion over the meaning of "free" in
FOSS. "Free" in FOSS means free as in libre, referencing the "Four
Essential Freedoms", not free as in no cost. It is actually a
stronger statement than "open".

HI Sergio,
well it might not be open source but is 'free just as in the
acronym FOSS = Free and Open Source Software (as for example the
OSGEO flagship conference FOSS4G), so while open is certainly more
desirable 'only' free as I see it is also part of FOSS. That is
just to say one potentially should not prevent someone presenting
on that software based only because it is free but not open source
- at least I think so because it could still be useful for users
out there
Just my 2 cents
Cheers
Karsten

Thank you Karsten. The question was because we are receiving
proposals for a congress that we are organizing and we ask -if
possible- to use open source software.

Hi Sergio,
while it appears to be free to me it see,s not to be open source
because in that case one would be be to find the source code (and
I could not).
Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use
an old version of extjs as a JS library as user GUI) so be ware
that it might be a bit outdated.
Cheers
Karsten

Sorry for my ignorance but I couldn't find out if this tool is
open source. Thanks for your help.

Hi Sergio
Perhaps if you want to state the issue you're trying to solve peopel
could suggest solutions. I immediately wonder if a solution based
openstreetmaps would be relevant - but I don't know what the challenge
is.
