Not always: * Free Software is about freedom. * Open Source is about development pragmatism. You could develop some software in total secrecy and occasionally publish the code with a GPL licence. This would be Free Software but to call it Open Source would be a mistake because it does not follow an open development methodology. By focusing on the licencing you are missing the bigger picture. -- Noah Slater - The GNU Project <http://www.gnu.org/> _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
