What?
Open Source -> Practical reasons
Free Software -> Political reasons
Most open source software is also free software, so it doesn't really matter.

The philosophy.
>>52156714
"open source" what people who want to make money call free software. "free software" is what people with severe autism call open source (and then complain about how the english language makes the term "free" confusing since it can mean both "gratis" and "libre")

Everything should be free software.
