You Say Open, I Say Free ... Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

,----[ Quote ]
| Apparently I'm not the only one fed up with the vocabulary wars that seem to 
| be part for the course in the open source world. To wit: is free software the 
| same as open source in all but the terminology? The problem is, the 
| terminology does seem to make all the difference -- because we allow it to.

Microsoft markets well (Is Aras an OSS marketing ploy?)

| Riddle me this: how does a small company that is an all MS
| development shop, with a press release or news piece every 2-3
| months get that kind of PR? My guess is that the Microsoft
| machine kicked in--portraying Microsoft (and Microsoft
| technologies) as legitimate open source community members.
| The whole thing is a sham, but great marketing.
