We speak about Free Software

,----[ Quote ]
| Free Software is often referred to as "Open Source." This is a result of an 
| attempt by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) to create a marketing campaign 
| for Free Software.  
| 
| The OSI set out to maintain the integrity of the movement and prevent abuse 
| by proprietary vendors by introducing "Open Source" as a trademark for Free 
| Software; but this initiative failed.

| This is typical trend riding fluff. If you go the Aras website you
