What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Free and Open Source Software

(free as in freedom)

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Libre just translates to free.

So that term is redundant.

[–] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years 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.

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