FOSS/FLOSS● Free/Libre Open Source Software● Can be freely used, changed, and shared
(in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. ● Made by many people, and distributed
under licenses that comply with the Open Source Definition.
● http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/

Free or Controlled ?● With these freedoms, the users (both
individually and collectively) control the program and what it does for them.
● The “nonfree” or “proprietary” program controls the users, and the developer controls the program; this makes the program an instrument of unjust power.
