> Do you object to any of these definitions? In this context, all of them (well, maybe not "Libre", for which you have an approximation of the usual definition.) The common combination "Free/Libre/Open source Software" phrase comes from three different names for approximately the same thing in Software: (1) Free Software under the FSF's Free Software definition [0] (2) Open Source Software under the Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition [1] (3) "Libre", a term sometimes used parenthetically to distinguish Free Software in the Free Software sense as discussed above from free-of-charge (gratis) software.
