They made the term "Open Source" because "Free Software" had so much baggage. :-) Its a vicious circle.I like the Spanish words... "Software Libre" or something like that.
It is funny to have a whole movement based around a single ambiguous English word. Though I guess it sounds better than "Liberty Software" which makes we want to go buy War Bonds. :-P
