@mayel the reason I'm being fussy about terminology is that there are *reasons* the #FourFreedoms were defined as they were. It's not like the #GNU Project folks didn't think through the potential consequences of including unrestricted commercial use in the freedoms their licenses protect. But they concluded that the cost of limiting commercial re-use outweighs the benefits and saw #copyleft as a better solution.(1/?)@Wolf480pl

@mrdaylight @schestowitz Of course it is possible to control the language. I wish it would not be so. Governments, polticians, media, they are controlling the language all the time. New terminology is invented all the time, and all with the purpose of control of population."Open Source" was invented as to control population so not to spread out the importance of free software, but to benefit the corporations. The sole purpose of language control is to control population.Then you may think it is because less syllabus than #GNU. But I think it is just a complex, random result of groups that got attracted to software and they have started chosing their own names of their computer systems. They may not even know what GNU meant, suddenly they knew about Linux kernel, and the started making distributions, which is good in itself, but not good for education.Producing situations that people use "Linux" without knowing what is free software is not contributing to society. This situation was caused by corporations such as Red Hat, SuSE, Corel, and others, who pushed "Open Source" instead of "free software" and still do. The GNU GPL licenses were spread all over their boxes, and in software, but in such manner that you cannot read them. Their printed versions very printed so small that it becomes boring to read it and understand what is free software. Free software started selling in shops just together with proprietary software, customers could not tell a difference. They just knew there is package of software for US $100 instead of just one piece, so they were purchasing it and using it, but not because it is free software, but because somebody paid to make it popular so that profits can be made. I am not against profits, but when purpose is different, this does not help the society, does not help people to understand importance of freedom in the new computing age. -

@schestowitz HOWTOs were extremely popular before in time, today I am not looking into index of HOWTOs to do something on a #GNU system with Linux kernels... Majority of software today is well documented, with their READMEs, INSTALL files, and documentation.
