A Field Guide to Free Software Supporters

Hearing the terms "free software" or "open source," you might imagine

source software" (FOSS) suggests only two different outlooks: Free
software, which values political and philosophical freedom, and open
source, whose main interest is enhanced software quality.

An interesting analysis of different schools of thought.

Cheers
