Which term best describes the kind of software you work on?
The free and open source software (FOSS) community is big and getting bigger. It's diverse and broad, but we have more in common than we do differences that set us apart.
In free software, people care about ethics above all. In open source, people care about technology and there are many shades of gray in between.
Then there are those who just want to get FOSS used more widely. They are in the business of FOSS. As we expand into new markets, should there be a new term for them to convey the message of FOSS more clearly and inclusively?
