What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Free and Open Source Software

(free as in freedom)

Sorry, but is free as in beer. As the word FLOSS exist: Free, Libre and Open Source Software.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Libre just translates to free.

So that term is redundant.

Incorrect. Something can be free (as in free beer) without being libre (free as in freedom) and something can be libre without being free.
