And that brings me to our first mistake: for a time, there was
a conflict between
Open Source
and
Free Software
evangelism.
My intent has always been for Open Source to simply be another way
of talking about Free Software, tailored to the ears of business
people, and that it would eventually lead them to a greater appreciation
of
Richard Stallman's arguments. This has come to pass, and I hope you'll
continue to make it so. One only had to witness the attendance of the
GPL 3 committees to see that the importance of FSF's work was
appreciated by the largest of corporations.
