Many times people mistake "Open Source" to mean "runs on Linux ∗AND∗
MacOS." Nothing could be further from the truth. I often go to
people who make this mistake and tell them politely what they got
wrong about the phrase "Open Source". They usually then tell me that
it's not like "Open Source" is a clearly defined term in the first
place. Of course, it ∗is∗ a clearly defined term.
http://www.opensource.org/docs/osdI sincerely hope there's a source release of FPD 4.0. Think of how
much more business those companies would do if FPD came included with
every major Linux distribution?
