Z:gnu-www-ja-free-software-for-freedom--8ec7e0-The main argument for the term/en

The main argument for the term &ldquo;open source software&rdquo; is that &ldquo;free software&rdquo; makes some people uneasy. That's true: talking about freedom, about ethical issues, about responsibilities as well as convenience, is asking people to think about things they might rather ignore. This can trigger discomfort, and some people may reject the idea for that. It does not follow that society would be better off if we stop talking about these things.
