-The terms ``free software'' and ``open source'' are the slogans of two
-different movements which differ in their basic philosophy.  The Free
-Software Movement is idealistic, and raises issues of freedom, ethics,
-principle and what makes for a good society.  The Open Source Movement,
-founded in 1998, studiously avoids such questions.  For more explanation,

+The terms ``free software'' and ``open source'', while describing

 documentation, and announcements and articles that you publish in your
 role as the maintainer of a GNU package.  A reference to the URL given
 above, to explain the difference, is a useful thing to include as
 well.
