 Instead of using the terms "Free Software" or "Open Source" in relation to 
"Free/Libre Open Source Software," maybe we should use the expresions 
"Permissive License" and "Permissive Licensed Software" to denominate FLOSS.

 


"Free/Libre Open Source Software" is a viable alternative to commercial 
software. Its licensing and development model yields high quality software, 
which could be very beneficial to the end-users of software at large. Despite 
of the benefits, FLOSS is still lagging behind commercial closed source 
software, when it comes to the rate of adoption. End users, typically the 
people who do not develop software, are not familliar with FLOSS and they 
don't know what to expect from FLOSS. "
