    @wholookshere @aard free as in free beer vs free as in freedom, look it up pal. FOSS binaries can be sold as long as the code is free as in freedom, it’s just that we usually provide them as free as in beer. The main difference between FOSS and OSS is that the former is copyleft and propagates the license to derived projects, although FOSS purists would say that FOSS respects the user’s freedom where OSS purposefully doesn’t.
