Re:Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software (2007) by orangeshark on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @08:30AM (#21059331)
Free software and open source software cover basically the same software. The main difference is that these communities value different parts of the software. Free Software supporters value the freedom aspects of the software, while Open Source Software supporters value the development practices to create powerful and reliable software. If you listen to these supporters on the benefits of releasing your software as Free and Open Source, you will hear completely different reasons why.
