<div>I think there may be some confusion over the meaning of "free" in FOSS. "Free" in FOSS means free as in libre, referencing the "Four Essential Freedoms", not free as in no cost. It is actually a stronger statement than "open".

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span>well it might not be open source but is 'free just as in the acronym FOSS = Free and Open Source Software (as for example the OSGEO flagship conference FOSS4G), so while open is certainly more desirable 'only' free as I see

<p>Thank you Karsten. The question was because we are receiving proposals for a congress that we are organizing and we ask -if possible- to use open source software.<br>
