:58:04
I agree completely with the points they make about that.
:58:08
The reason why my views are different,
while I am in the Free Software movement
:58:14
rather than the Open Source movement,
:58:16
is that I believe there's something
more important at stake.
:58:20
That freedom to cooperate with other people,
freedom to have a community...
:58:26
is important for our quality of life.
:58:29
It's important for having a good society
that we can live in.
:58:34
And that that is in my view, even more important
than having powerful and reliable software.
:58:41
But I think some of the people in
the Free Software camp...
:58:47
are a little scared by the commercialization.
:58:54
And uh, you know,
of course a rebel is put off by success.
:58:59
uh.. I think that commercialization is very important.
:59:03
We want to mainstream this software,
:59:06
and I work with Richard Stallman
who's the gray haired man of Free Software,
:59:14
uh, on a regular basis, and I don't feel
:59:18
I have any philosophical differences.
:59:22
me as author the Open Source definition and
:59:26
he is originator of free software as an organized thing,
:59:34
except for one thing.
Richard thinks that all software should be free,
:59:38
and I think that free software and
non-free software should coexist.
:59:43
That's the only difference we have.
:59:46
Uh, we decided early on that what we needed,
:59:50
a..a definition, we needed a kind of
meta-license to define the term "Open Source".
:59:55
a, a definition, we needed a kind of
meta-license to define the term "Open Source".
:59:56
And what we came up with is a document called
"The Open Source Definition".
