Why Freedomware?
,----[ Quote ]
| In light of questions pertaining to the
| difference between freedomware and free and
| open source software, I have put together a
| slide show using OpenOffice.org. The
| assumption here is that certain pieces of
| knowledge, such as the four freedoms (FSF)
| and how open source originated are already
| known by anyone wanting to use the slide show
| to do a presentation.

| In addition, large software corporations often inhibit sharing of ideas
| by not allowing the user to share the software with other people.
| Software patents exist in order to prevent individuals from outdoing
| the large organizations who wish to retain that âcompetitive edge.â
| Having the source code was out of the question, and woe be unto those
| who shared copies with other people, despite the fact that the software
| in question was vastly overpriced. This is why organizations such as
| the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative exists.

| Freedomware is not intended as a term to replace Free Software or Open Source
| Software aka FOSS, FLOSS. These terms have their niche and place in society.
| They are well established and we are all better for it.

| We are not reinventing the wheel nor are we asking that Freedomware be used
| in lieu of Free Software or Open Source Software. We are after all, just
| scratching an itch! While simultaneously filling the communications gap that
| exists between the developers and the rest of the world.
