@Linux_in_a_Bit "and" very rarely is in acronyms as such.another example could be OSHA: Occupational Safety (and) Health Administration, yet we don't say OSAHA.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Seems like a lot of effort to go to just to include ESR's bullshit. Just call it Free Software. "Open source" is a canard.

@freakazoid Yeah, but also most people don't really understand that free in this case doesn't mean "free beer"...

@Linux_in_a_Bit I wonder how many people who don't know that by now actually matter. Having them think that what's important is that you can read the source code doesn't seem like an improvement.
