Z:gnu-www-ja-open-source-misses-the-point--1c6604-Unfortunately, all the alterna/en

Unfortunately, all the alternatives in English have problems of their own. We've looked at many that people have suggested, but none is so clearly &ldquo;right&rdquo; that switching to it would be a good idea. (For instance, in some contexts the French and Spanish word &ldquo;libre&rdquo; works well, but people in India do not recognize it at all.) Every proposed replacement for &ldquo;free software&rdquo; has some kind of semantic problem&mdash;and this includes &ldquo;open source software.&rdquo;
