Hi!
One reply to the interview I received indirectly, was this interesting
note. I'm posting it without permission so I don't include the name.

It used to be that Open Source == GNU Public License way back when in the dark
ages (mid-1980's to early 1990's).
Then along came Linux, which sort of coopted Open Source away from GNU &
Richard Stallman, who then came up with Free Software, to differentiate
himself (again) from everyone else.
There has been open source software for much longer than the 4 years since
Eric Raymond et al. started the Open Source Initiative.

Mit Freien Grüßen
