The most important part of FLOSS is “F”, apparently.
It’s so nice of her to open her mouth that much so the cat and get to work with the floss he’s been maintaining!
eta wen?
Not to take away from the point but the F in FOSS stands for “Free as in freedom” and not free as in price.
Free as in beer.
Free Open Source Software.
It’s FLOSS in the image. Free Libre Open Source Software
i wonder, why have i never heard “GLOSS (Gratis Libre Open Source Software)” used
it would make sense
That’s also a nice acronym. I like it better actually.
Though if it’s truly freedom, then it should also be free as in price. One is a superset of the other.
You can charge for free software, for the binary and/or source code - bandwidth/storage ain’t free.
Yes. But the source code should also be available at no cost, and you should be able to build it yourself right? So freedom should be a superset of free.
Isn’t that what the L for Libra means?
I think people say FOSS and FLOSS interchangeably and come to say FLOSS due to floss being as established word (dental floss). If you know of “libre” then that you probably know the free software vs open source distintion too and would just choose to say one.
Ohhhhh I didn’t know that, thank you :)

Interesting. Maybe a new bug? @[email protected] is one of our admins. Maybe they can look into it. Dunno who the admin is of dbzer0. Maybe you could ping them.
@[email protected] is the admin of dbzer0
db0 this ping is about a federation issue, an edit is not federating from programming.dev
