[Bug 571524] Re: Open Source definition is inaccurate

 

Bryan, the definitions between the FSF and the OSI are almost the same,
the problem is that the FSF definition is more tightly focused. Although
I have to say that I personally don't like either.

Canonical are not the Ubuntu Community, I'd be weary of a blind copy
since Canonical isn't exactly doing everything by the book like Debian
is for instance.

I've noted all the glaring inaccuracies which will continue a lot of the misconceptions about what FOSS is and why it's important.
