@mediumchat You should be aware that everything you've been told in the thread is just opinion, and unhelpful, divisive opinion at that.
"Open source" and "Free software" are both terms that relate to the same concept, software freedom. Some people like to pick fights over them instead of the real challenges to our freedom like proprietary software, DRM, software patents and locked-down hardware. The adults in the room stopped picking fights over "free vs open" at least a decade ago.
