We have discussed in the past using the intersection of the open source
definition from opensource.org and the free software definition from
gnu.org, which means "only software the two major definitions agree is
open/free"

Anyway, we should not turn this list into a gnu.misc.discuss type of
morass (for those of us who remember the days of gnu.misc.discuss... for
all I know it still exists, but I haven't been on usenet in a few
years... ;-))
