Agreed. I was just pointing out that he doesn't seem to like the term
"open source". Although I don't really understand why. If it's open
source it's still "free software", right? I think what he doesn't like
it when project like Ubuntu include proprietary drivers or apps, but
that doesn't change the open source aspects (although the whole distro
is no longer "free"). I don't really see how open source and free are
not synonymous.

PS I never actually tasted SB (hey, I just noticed that those initials
are very close to SoB - I wonder what his middle name is:)).
