their definition of free is moronic. I dont have to pay for opera, no one does. i did though, because its awsome.
so you're saying that america is not 'free' because it costs money to live here?Originally Posted by RoD
are you also saying that merican HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law, WordNet 2.0, The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, and CancerWEB's On-line Medical Dictionary all are wrong in their definiton of free?
the point is: the word 'free' really has very little to do with money.

im saying i disagree with that.
disagree with what? the english language? or the definition GNU decides to use in their licences, which currently has over 28,000 projects under them on freshmeat alone, which makes up for over 70% of all programs on the site?

Well... if we're going by that definition, IE/Firefox/Netscape/etc.... none of them are free.Originally Posted by major_small
That's a moronic comparison.Originally Posted by major_small
Opera might not be "free" by that definition, but the last time I checked, I didn't pay any money for it, so that makes it free enough to the 99% of the population who doesn't feel the need to impress their definition of "free" to make themselves feel better.
edit: To clarify, just because GNU has their extremely limited definition doesn't change the fact that most people take "free" to mean "I didn't pay anything". I would expect to see that kind of reasoning on a place like Slashdot, but not here.

Stop being such passionate morons.
Actually, Firefox does fit that definition. But Richard Stallman is a freak of nature.Originally Posted by ober
