Interesting writtings on Libre Software Philosophy

http://openlife.cc/

I never liked the term open source. I think it misses the point that
having control over modification and expansion of others' ideas has
value. The author substitutes the term "open source" software, the
ability to view source material, for "libre" software, the freedom to
use, modify, share, and learn from source material. The two are
overlapping concepts but they are not equivalent. Where the author
writes "open source" he really means "libre".
