[Fsf-friends] Is it available in the world ?

[M.Balakrishna Pillai]

hi all
 
 From "Fast Track to Linux" published by DIGIT, section 1.2.1 (page 15)

 A closely-related but not similar idea is that of free software. Free
 software means, well, that the software is available for free. It is
 already compiled and ready to use.  Open source only means the source
 code is available to whoever wishes to build it and make
 fully-functional software.  Free software need not be open source and
 similarly, open source software need not be free either.  A free, but
 not open source, software can only be used, but cannot be modified-or
 for that matter dissected to see how it works.  Open source software
 can also be a paid software, in which the source code is made available
 to the buyer.  Open source and free software are closely related in the
 Linux world, but they are not the same.

 and last paragraph on page 16

   No discussion on open source or free software is complete without the
   mention of Ricahard Stallman, the founder of GNU project

Any known method of education to teach them ?
