Why we are inheriting the same "open source"clause in FSF progamme invitations?
Who wrote the words that are quoted? Where was that quote posted?
The words were originally written by eweek. They were quoted in the following programme quoted below.
I hope and think that the error has been fixed. The email did not say that the program was by FSF-I, another program organised by FSF-I talks only about free software, and does not mention "open source".
