Previous week-end, GNOME-fr members (non-profit organization to
promote GNOME in French speaking countries) went to Lyon, France, to
take part of the open-source related event, the JDLL [1] (which stands
for Journées du Logiciel Libre),
This was a free software event ("logiciel libre" is French for "free
software"), and GNOME is a free software project (as part of GNU).
So why say "open source" to describe it? Why not say "free software"
and help promote the free software movement?
See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
for more explanation of the difference between free software and open
source.
