Well put me in a dress and call me Sheryl. Never knew that the "accepted definitions" were really that close. Thanks!

I knew that some definitions of OSS were really basic (as in "as long as there is source at some point") but I didn't know that the OSI definition was so close to the idea of "free software".

I found the read about the history and similarities & differences quite interesting: https://web.archive.org/web/20180915200609/http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
