Expunging the myths of open source
Submitted by Wonko The Sane on 24 November, 2004 - 15:34.
In the article, Expunging the myths of open source, Richard Stallman is interviewed and gives his perspective - once again - regarding Free Software, and the use of the phrase 'Open Source'. He makes a case that just using 'Open Source' as a phrase describing Free Software has eroded some of the founding principles.
While the 'value' of Open Source is apparent to many, the real issue may in fact be that, when talking about Open Source, the whole topic of freedom doesn't come up. On many different levels, that seems like a fairly important thing - and not something that should be omitted.
