MODERATORS
There are discussions about open vs. free going back over 20 years, that I know of. The divorce happened long ago, but they're still neighbors.
Those discussions largely resulted in "FOSS", and a basic peace treaty. The two tended to use the same techniques and licenses in practice, and nobody really wanted to have that fight.
I didn't realize things had progressed to this point. I thought there were still some mainstream distros that would qualify as Free, but the only ones GNU endorses are ones I've never heard of. There do still seem to be some non-GNU projects with a freedom-first philosophy.
