Isn't FOSS Stallman's definition? Free open source as opposed to just open source

[โ€“] bi_tux@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Nah, I was reffering to Stallman's definition of 'open source'. He gets very mad when you reffer to FOSS as just 'open source' instead of 'free and open source', even tho almost everyone means FOSS when they say open source. And just for clarification: FOSS is defined by the FSF not by Stallman direct.
