I don't agree. People not familiar with GNU philosophy will either
misread it, or ignore it alltogether.
Do you mean the free/gratis/libre part?
I tend to forget about that... free has only one meaning in my mind ;)
But you're right. That isn't true for most people, and those would be
confused. And those who understand "free "also understand "GNU"...
I just had that problem again today:
me: "Is it free?"
other: "It's gratis for open source projects, so it's free."
me: "That's isn't free."
:-)
I don't get it. Why do you think the open source project isn't free?
