My way or the highway. Yawn.

Personally, I don't use the term "Open Source" to describe free software any more, even though most of my free software activity has been in corporate environment. I call it free software, or free software in business, because Open Source turns out be really cr@ppy marketing, which is what you'd expect from the geeks who cooked it up.

Businesses end up taking advantage of "freeness" more than of "Open Sourceness".

Free is always good, open source is better because its portable and generally not as broken.
