Subject: Re: Clarification of GPL for user article
This view precludes the free-of-charge aspect of free software,
but that is the easiest to grasp,
Actually, this is not an aspect of free software at all. "Free"
refers to freedom, not price--free software does NOT mean
"free-of-charge". So this is not an omission; it is correct.
Please don't say it is an omission.
Note that this article is really about "Free Software" not "Open
Source". I can't see any additions Open Source gives to Free
Software, only jargon and limitations...
I agree with what this says, but I think this paragraph
does not really fit into the article. It would be better
to "do" it rather than "say" it. In other words, you could
simply write about "free software" and not mention "open source".
