But only got accepted by the FSF from 2007. Until that point, (and I think even after that), RMS and the FSF was only concerned about the code that you run on your machine be open source (eg, the JavaScript in your browser) but the code running in some server didn't need to be open source as that did not violated the user freedom. |

See: Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software

> The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs. However, they say deeply different things about those programs, based on different values.
