-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,
