Agreed but according to Larry Augustin, Eric Raymond the term Open Source was invented to prevent people from associating "Free Software" with adjectives like "cheap", "worthless", "shoddy". They largely attribute the creation of the term to Christine Peterson.
Hmm. Afair ERS promoted the term to make it palatable to bussiness and drew a lot of flak from coders. In any case the term does defocus the political issues and is grossly misused nowadays.
Seems you misunderstood what I wrote. The "> $0" means it can be given away free of cost or at any price that the developers see fit.
I did understand correctly, but was pointing out that not just Open Source but also gpld software can be sold cause gpl != open source. I also understand that your understanding is substantially correct but many others on the list may not be so fortunate. Hence the cribbing.
