I don't get how those help saying what value open source software does or does not give. With the original two there are clearly two ways to view free (beer, as in you do not pay for the software, and speech as in that you get certain rights with it).

You are talking about the quality of the software, and I don't think that is correlated to either the versions of free described above. I have paid for software that has been buginfested and that has been completely unfit for its purpose.

Is any of what you said related to free/libre software?
