Their stated definition for the term &ldquo;open source&rdquo; is somewhat broader than free software, and thus includes my work. But describing the GNU GPL as an &ldquo;open source license,&rdquo; as Microsoft did, is more than half misleading. The GNU GPL embodies the firm philosophy of the free software movement; it doesn't come from the open source movement. I am not a supporter of the open source movement, and never have been.
