Re: [Fsuk-manchester] Misunderstanding the Free Software Philosophy

[Jacek Podkanski]

There's a chance that distinction between Free Software and Open Source, 
one day might resemble distinction between Free Masons and stone masons. 
The sooner it happens the better. I think we need a clear separation of 
political zealotry from doing real work. Decision to use the term Free 
Software for use in politics was a bad idea. Inventing another term, for 
example something like Software Freedom Party, or even better Digital 
Freedom Party, would be a better idea.
