Lol

Again i’m having abiguity with works. I mean it shows as ampersand gt semicolon and not a single symbol for me. Are you reffering the same? Is it showing a single > symbol for you?

Lmao. But quotes won’t change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \

Lemme try >

Edit : yeah this works for me.

Correctly or wrongly? yours renders ampersand gt semocolon as > only in code block and not in my sentence?

Wow so can I use > to get this?

Edit:yes

Actually i don’t know the full form. So just joked about it

I - ANAL

haha

Hhuh? Open source is not free. Its entirely different ideology. You can’t call it open source. Also open source have this same issue that people perveive it as software with “source availiable”. Is that dumb mnemonics? I think not!

People cannot understand a “new” ideology from the name itself. Hence they have to define it and popularise it. Free takes meaning in context and they have to make context in terms of software as free as in freedom.

Unrestricted or permissive does not look good to me. Free software can have restrictive licensing, like GPL. It has restriction which makes free software always free. You really know there are so called “permissive” licenses which do not have this. The word free shows the importance of freedom in sodtware which other terms fails to address

FSF DO NOT try to define free as in freedom as only meaning of free. But in context of software, free software means Libre. That is the point. And of course in english free takes context dependent meaning,and software can be either type of free. So it should be rigorously defined.

Anyway I can’t find synonyms for theese two free in english, what are they?

FOSS is Free AND Open Source Software what tf?

Original owner cam have control with GPL, that is control that someone else does not make it proprietary. This relies on copyright. Many open licenses have attribution requirement, which means derivative works should credit whoever contributed to it. So it is indeed ownership but pte declared that anyone can use the code. They still have ownership but not the proprietary kind of ownership

What does a free country mean? One having no value of money? Its english’s fault that two different words can have exact same spelling and pronounciation. Most other languages have distinct terms for the two "free"s

Inclusive umbrella term. It means the software has to be both free and open source. Open source does jot imply free and free does not imply open source. It requires the software to be both. Practically almost all open source apps are free and vice versa with few exceptions

Nope. Its not the definition of open source. Its the defenition of “source availiable”

Have a good read. If you want tl;dr, here is it

Open source is a developement methodology in which software is licensed with the permission for everyone to collaborate and develop it. Anyone has the freedom to modify and contribute to it.

Free software is a matter of freedom. It refers to the 4 essential freedoms a software should have, that is freedom to use, modify, share copies and share modified copies for the community however you want without restriction.

FOSS is software that fits both theese defenitions. While practically almost all free software are open source and almost all open source software are free software, but there are few exeptions

That doesn’t make if foss though. That doesn’t make it either Free or Open Source.

Fuck i didnt even realise its not a parody

I think he is talking about this
