Re: [OSS] Re: Fwd: Second OSS Conference - Follow Up

* i made what i think is the classic mistake Mr Stallman is now
devoted to clarifying, the critical difference between
*permitting* the *current* open access of source code (for
usage, modification and redistribution) and *maintaining* its
*perpetual* openness (in the same sense of open access, usage,
modification and [re]distribution).

Alas, I think I see another misunderstanding, because none of my
messages to the list were about this issue. This is the difference
between copyleft free software licenses and non-copyleft free software
licenses.

There are people who think that these two categories are "free
software" and "open source", but that is a misunderstanding which I
explained in another message recently.

PLEASE read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html
to clear up the many misunderstandings about these categories.
