Oops.  I forgot to address your previous comment
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/571524/comments/4).  I
understand your preference for FOSS; however, I'm reluctant to drop an
acronym like that into a beginner's manual without proper explanation.
And such explanation would inevitably lead to the kinds of definitions
you're suggesting that the section avoid.  I definitely think we can
strike a balance between technical and social priorities in our
explanation of the terms that make Ubuntu special, but I think we'll
need to attach a concrete and established label to it.

Status in Ubuntu Manual: Confirmed

Bug description:
I've made an annotation for the open source definition in the current version of the published manual:

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