Good points! What about "Community Libre Software" or "Libre Community Software"? > RMS would send us to the dungeons. I haven’t found any statements of him why he is not calling it "Libre Software". "Open Source" is a bad term as RMS agrees. "Free Software" is too ambiguous as well. I never liked the term. People not having heard about it have little chance to intuitively guess the essence of what it's about. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
