Post apps that just werks > Wikipedia apps open source (available

Hello there! You seem to have used the term "open source".
The term "open source" was created by a group of people that did not want to be associated with the free software movement. When I say "free" software (which is one of the alternatives preferable to "open source"). It's not about price; in that case I would say "gratis", or "free as in free beer". It's about "freedom"! This is what the free software movement is fighting for.
So what is "free" software? Free software is any software that guarantees the user the four essential software freedoms:
> 0. Run the program as you wish.
> 1. Study the source code and change it so it does what you wish.
> 2. Redistribute exact copies of the program.
> 3. Distribute your modified version of the program.
Some people decided that they wanted to restrict the user; but being able to study and modify the "open source" code is not enough! This is directly hurting the cause of the free software movement because it takes away the sociological "freedom" aspect of free software and turns it into a technological one.
So for those reasons I ask that in the future you use the terms "free", "free/libre" or, if necessary "FLOSS" (short for "free/libre and open source"), though the latter should still be avoided.

I'm really impressed with the amount of shit you can do Tasker.

I will bait :
Wikipedia tracks users and can't be considered free as in freedom, that's why i use the term "open source".
See >>62150108 for more information

>>62149925
So?

>>62149861
Why not just visit it on your browser?
Less app is better.

>what is reading comprehension
The post talked about the phrase "open source", which should be avoided.
Software freedom has nothing to do with tracking user activity; you can track them all you want, as long as your software guarantees all four software freedoms as defined in >>62149925 your software is free software.
TL;DR you should not say "open source", but instead refer to free / proprietary software as applicable. You should NOT use the Wikipedia app; not because it's nonfree (it isn't), but because it doesn't respect the user's privacy which is a seperate issue.

Ok, i understand now but i still think that a privacy problem is also a threat for freedom, i don't really care of what Stallman think, i will keep using the term "open source" because i'm free.

>>62150443
Privacy invasion IS a threat to freedom; however, there are several different types of freedom. Personal freedom is affected by it, software freedom isn't.
You are, of course, free to use that term. I'm just asking you to consider changing your vocabulary, for the above reasons.
