Sorry, I’m French and for me positive means strictly positive (as negative 
means strictly negative), but to avoid any ambiguity, I always use « 
strictement positif » for numbers > 0 and « positif ou nul » for numbers ≥ 0.

Some authors (Bourbaki for instance) considers that zero is both a positive and 
a negative number. But these are exceptions (see Wikipedia on this topic).
