[okfn-discuss] [FC-discuss] A Free, Libre and Open Glossary

Wed Jul 10 16:34:52 UTC 2013

I understand the debate a little better now.  Another possibility is to
proactively promote Libre as a 'middle way', and just not entangle it with
the history of free/open debate.

This could even be more fruitful over time than trying to change the
entrenched connotations and definitions of either free or open.  Libre
becomes a term for where the free/open debate perhaps should have ended up.
 (But didn't.)
