Re: [LUG] What is the purpose of free software ?

 

On 28/01/07, Tom Brough < tombrough@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote some stuff.

My interpretation is that free software exists to ensure that availability of functionality is universal and not constricted by money, copyright, etc.

The open-source development and distribution model, especially the GPL, work very nicely with the free software idea but are not the same thing.

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
