Open Source and Free Software:

Just for the record, in a response [1]to my earlier posting about free
software and copyright law, Richard Stallman sent me the following:
I am disappointed that you describe my work as "open source",
because I disagree with that camp and I constantly struggle against
the misinformation which labels my work that way. You might as well
call my work "Republican". For instance, this sentence
Stallman understands this thoroughly � though the vast majority of
commentators on the open source movement have missed this point.
is likely to lead readers to suppose erroneously that I am a
supporter of the open source movement, ewhen in fact I disagree
with it fundamentally.
See
[2]http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
for an explanation of this disagreement.
Would you please replace "open source" with "free software" in this
posting about my work?
Done.
