hi all
From "Fast Track to Linux" published by DIGIT, section 1.2.1 (page 15)

A closely-related but not similar idea is that of free software. Free software means, well, that the software is available for free. It is already compiled and ready to use. Open source only means the source code is available to whoever wishes to build it and make fully-functional software. Free software need not be open source and similarly, open source software need not be free either. A free, but not open source, software can only be used, but cannot be modified-or for that matter dissected to see how it works. Open source software can also be a paid software, in which the source code is made available to the buyer. Open source and free software are closely related in the Linux world, but they are not the same. </quote>
and last paragraph on page 16 <quote> No discussion on open source or free software is complete without the mention of Ricahard Stallman, the founder of GNU project </quote>
Any known method of education to teach them ?
