Free / Libré & Open-Source Software

This sub is about software and should not be confused with other uses of "open-source".

  • Free of charge software

  • Libré software grants

      freedoms and rights

  • Open-Source software is

      openly developed

 

  • Wikipedia: FOSS

  • Wikipedia: Gratis versus libre

      = free stuff vs freedom

  • Wikipedia: Open source

      = an article I started
