[Upd-discuss] intellectual property disadvantage in economic terms

[Richard M. Stallman]

I looked at your HTML file.

I think it is a mistake to look at the issue of free software
primarily in economic terms, because freedom for all users is
directly important, independent of whatever economic consequences it
might have.

That is why I continue to use the terms "free software" and
"proprietary software", and avoid use of the terms "open source" and
"closed source" which are associated with a philosophy that does not
consider freedom to be directly important.
