Hello there,
with interest i Iread the proposed amendment/modification to the proposed European Copyright Laws. With horror, I learned that the terms Free Software and Open Source software are more or less used interchangeably.
Also, my understanding of Free Software/OSS was that releasing the (modified) code to the community is a requirement, and not an option. In the text it sounds like an option.
More precisely, I am unclear about the terms Free Software and OPen Source Software. Do you know of any Software that is both open source, and non-free, or that is free, but not Open Source?
Are theses distictions anything else than a political choice?
