@isthereanydeal Nope. That distinction only appeared when big companies kinda became afraid of open source software, so they wanted to redefine the term, create some confusion, corrupt it…
@isthereanydeal You might want to doublecheck you assumptions. Grayjay doesn’t fit in neither the GNU definition of “free software”, nor the OSI definition of “open source”. And the difference isn’t even as clear as you think, since even Richard Stallman writes “The terms “free software” and “open source” stand for almost the same range of programs.”

You may have a point but there’s a difference anyway

@heyoni I’m commenting from mastodon, I don’t even see any upvotes. Someone just started downvoting me because they ran out of arguments 🤷♂️
That must be why. On lemmy, like reddit you automatically upvote your own comments. Yours was at 0 probably cause mastodon doesn’t do that.
