Thanks, I know what free software is. Open source != free software.

toothbrush was talking both about free software and open source and you claimed that Stallman disagreed with the notion that free software must allow to be used without restrictions (which I misread as run in toothbrush’s comment and only now realized that they weren’t talking about running)

That’s why I talked about free software, but I’m sure at least the commercial use part also applies to open source (since business is mentioned as an example in the point about discrimination against field of endeavor in the OSD)

I said that Stallman didn’t agree with the open source definition he was using. Please stop conflating free and open source software.
