Hello all, 

I thought you might be interested in that blog post:
http://k7r.eu/2-percent-discussion-free-software-or-open-source-software/

  Scott Peterson from Red Hat this week published an article "Open
  Source or Free Software". It touches on a very important
  misunderstanding; people still believe that the terms "Open Source
  Software" and "Free Software" are referring to different software:
  they are not! Scott asked several interesting questions in his article
  and I thought I share my thoughts about them here and hopefully
  provoke some more responses on an important topic.

Would be interested in your views. 

Regards,
Matthias
