DarkestDream Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 How Open Does Open Source Need to be? there is tons of debate about this one.mmm let see what Wikipedia had to say..... Wikipedia views on Open Source and Wikipedia views on Free SoftwareNow that ia huge confusion. OS and FS is similar, too similar. So meaning Limewire should be FS, not OS since the definition said software which can be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed without restriction. This is too much confusion.... too muchNow im asking on your view, what your view on Open Source and Free Software... discuss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Sigh. This is why I don't read /.. A program is Open Source if its license conforms to the Open Source Definition. It's Free Software if its license conforms to the Free Software Definition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
