El gran Benjamin Mako Hill ha publicado un post titulado Taking a Principled Position on Software Freedom, donde nos recuerda a todos que abogar por la Libertad en el software es más importante que los argumentos dados por la gente a favor del término Open Source. Del post:

One reason I tend to stay away from “open source” claims in my own advocacy is that I’m worried by the way that these arguments rely on a set of often dubious empirical claims of superiority. Free software, on the other hand, can be seen as statement of principles. Regardless of whether we say “free software” or “open source,” I’ve found that a focus on principled statements is both more robust against counter-arguments and does a better job of describing the motivations of most contributors.

Hace ya algunos años, el mismo Mako escribió algo parecido: Open Source is Dead.
