discussed this there was a suggestion of calling open source software  
"Freedom Software" to try and differentiate it from software that is simply 
free of cost.

Open Source advocates are no less ideological - I made this clear at the AGM 
of the NZOSS. The NZOSS actually represents both the point of view of the 
Open Source and Free Software - since the basic principle - freedom - is a 
common concept.

Ultimatly - as I found today in a presentation to the New Zeland Computer 
Society in Wellington about Open Source - there needs to be more education 
about what open source and free software is about. The ideology can't be 
ignored.

Peter
