Hello Bruno :-)
you must acknowledge that the 98% does not really know what this is
about, dont' you think?
Well, I am not sure if I mean to ignore it Bruno. It's just that there has been some push back in other areas too which I believe are also important issues to discuss openly. I think what I would say is that if the 2% are not clear about the important differences between the two things, which includes the lexemes, the ideas, the concepts, the methodologies, the cultures and the outcomes, as two distinct packages if you like, then the chances of influencing the 98% discussion in my view look more remote, not as some may see it perhaps, as more likely.
The correct intervention here I think is education, and not acquiescing to the demands of business managers that want to have all the benefits of (say) a vibrant development community but do not feel obliged to uphold users freedom. I say this because to me this is an exemplary case of difference between Open Source and Free Software development.
To do that, we simply have to talk about free software, if it fits the criteria, and open source if it fits different criteria, and NOT mix the two things up.
It serves neither the 2% nor the 98% to talk in ways that are confusing and incapable of supporting the fundamental differences between the two things, in much a similar way that you would expect that if I say to you I work in a coffee shop, you could reliably relay that information to your friends accurately. It does no one any good if I say I work in a coffee shop if I actually work in a factory, because transmitting unreliable information I think generally in information science isn't the way we get useful things done, is it?
