Comment on Free software or open source? A small inspection.

Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.
I cannot more strongly disagree as it’s very explicitly defined. Libre software is not the same as open source software even though the non-initiated equate the two.
However, I do not think we should use the term open source.
This is why most people use the term FOSS now; free and open source software. Then of course there’s Libre.

I think they meant Freedom is vague in the general sense, outside a software development context.
