Thanks, that answers my question!
I won't respond to anything that you said in detail,
unless you ask me to do so specifically,
because I wanted to define the terms of the debate
more than actually press a particular opinion.
(That is, there are two groups whose comforts to consider,
and is the discomfort from our group only anticipatory.)
But now I'll join the debate a bit and ask you:
When GNU and RMS say that you shouldn't say "open source":
Is this just RMS' personal preference, or will they enforce it?
Because I think that we should /definitely/ say "open source";
it's widely recognised, and it means something
(which is not quite the same as "free", of course).
