What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 25 points 11 months ago

Free and Open Source Software

(free as in freedom)

Sorry, but is free as in beer. As the word FLOSS exist: Free, Libre and Open Source Software.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip -1 points 11 months ago

Libre just translates to free.

So that term is redundant.

[-] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Incorrect. Something can be free (as in free beer) without being libre (free as in freedom) and something can be libre without being free.

Bro wants to fact-check me on my own language lmao.

Libre means free as in freedom.

Free and open source software is a way of life. All hail the Richard Stallman.
