What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Free and Open Source Software

(free as in freedom)

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, but is free as in beer. As the word FLOSS exist: Free, Libre and Open Source Software.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Libre just translates to free.

So that term is redundant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Incorrect. Something can be free (as in free beer) without being libre (free as in freedom) and something can be libre without being free.

Bro wants to fact-check me on my own language lmao.

Libre means free as in freedom.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Free and open source software is a way of life. All hail the Richard Stallman.
