I was saying that FLOSS should be the combination of free [or gratis or whatever the actual no cost tag ends up being] and Open Source; was that not clear in how I worded it?

| Feb 7, 2014 at 17:00 | comment | added | unor | 'Open-Source + gratis' is not what FLOSS means, because (1) FLOSS may cost money, and (2) there may be "Open-Source software" (as defined by the OSI) that is not "Free Software" (as defined by the FSF). FLOSS is a term consolidating the terms "Open-Source software" and "Free Software". | |
