By free, I mean libre, not dreadful cross-stitch programs given away free
on CDs to subscribers :)  What have you done, out of interest?

A shame.

But not to spell or form cogent sentences, as some of your recent posts
are anything to go by! :)

My argument is thus: "Open source" is a vague and overloaded term, but by
the most generous and meaningful definition, anything whose source is
available for study can be referred to as such.  This leaves the problem
that such "shared source" schemes, as well as software whose source is
available for security auditing purposes (such as PGP) are also included;
which is why we have terms like "free software" and "software libre" to
separate them from projects under licences such as the GPL and MIT.
