Arguably they have become buzzwords, outside of the communities involved. Three different well-known systems (one is not Linux-based): "a free operating system for your computer" "a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software" "free, secure, and highly portable open source operating system" The idea of "doing the right thing" has come up recently, and perhaps that might be another start point - it encompasses licensing, technical aspects and community. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-September/msg00045.html -- Stuart Ellis stuart@xxxxxxxx Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
