>describing what is and is not FOSS.

This is wrong: FOSS is much more than the licences whose submitters’
noses are pleasant to the OSI.

>By using boolean AND

I don’t disagree with the AND, I disagree with the OSI.

Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh-
ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant
detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font.	-- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
