FLOSS

FLOSS, aka Free License Open Source Software

This open source software is free to download. It is under a open licence which allows people to modify versions of it and distribute them modified to their changes and the original un-modified version, as long as it is still under the same licence, allowing the next people who get the software the same option of modifying and distributing it and so forth.



This guy really was a crack up, my favourite comment had to be "Piracy is attacking ships and its very bad, but we shouldn't use a term for something so bad to talk about sharing, because sharing is good " very good philosophy I feel, but overall he did explain about FlOSS pretty well.

For more about the free software movement and a better more in depth and technical explanation check out this link, Free Software Foundation.
