2.1. Words to aviod - My personal itch I can assure you. Whenever I come across an article or a replay to an article on Free Software in which people are using words to avoid I try to, as polite as possible, make them aware of the wording they chose and the conflict it causes to other peoples understanding of the message.

2.2. Why Open Source misses the point of Free Software - One could argue that the world need both. In saying so it is absolutely essential to point out that these are NOT two sides on the same matter. For starters, The Open Source Definition speaks about nine points that defines OSS - Free Software is, to me, not a subject as much as it is a lifestyle. Freedom seldom come without a cost of some kind. To have freedom one must give up other things, such as proprietary software. Just like Freedom not always mean gratis in the world of Free software.

2.3. The Free Software Definition - Freedom 0, 1, 2 and three. Elementary, to say the least. Without these four freedoms you might as well forget you ever heard the words GNU/Linux. Deny them, and I wish you luck in your life as a slave to the corporate world of liars.
