Here, I mean the free and open the same way I mentioned.

Yes, but you weren't very clear before were you? That's why this thread
has turned into a bit of flame war...

Why the split, FSF and OSI? OSI is free, but why FSF is not open? :(

You're best off doing some reading:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
http://opensource.org/
http://www.fsf.org/

Thank you, Chris. I was afraid of this could start a flame war. This is
why I asked to reply in specific pattern.

Many of us don't like any war. No body wins/looses in a flamewar. It
would always be the power we have causes the problems. Consider two
cases, you have gun or joystick in your hand. You can now think of what
you can do with these things. This is why I gave you the joystick in
your hand.

I am posting this third time through google groups. I don't know
whether my previous post was lost or I didn't post at all. I couldn't
see it in google groups.
