   The romans used to give their children numbers as names as I recall. Very efficient.

   Using LGPL may reduce the scope to argue copyright is being infringed and thus discourage complaints from app-store-haters... 2/2

   The whole legal argument seems speculative and I believe most cases are based on conflict avoidance rather than settled law. 1/2

   OK, looked. You assert but don't explain. Got any (written) materials? I don'f share your opinion right now.

   You're right, I didn't notice it in all the tag forest :-) Will take a look.

   Presumably it means they can put VLC into online app-stores?

   So you will oppose me in public when I challenge vendors who call their products open source without delivering software freedom? Awesome.

    OSI took extensive private action to deal with this abuse. Seems to be back again though, hence the question...

    Is there scope for the Advertising Standards Authority to act over vendors calling stuff "open source" without delivering software freedom?

    I think you are limiting your view to COTS. Open source has already won in infrastructure, for example...

    Are you making a point or trolling? I can't decide.

    I agree. "Free" is the ethical construct; "Open" is the practical method; "liberty" is the shared objective.

    I'm not as convinced as you of the objective reality of those differences; they are the differences of adherents.

    Whatever anyone may say, it can't be "open" (or indeed "free") if some uses are prohibited or require explicit permission.

    "Open" is never used honestly to mean "non-commercial". Only salesmen pretend otherwise.
