Re: Questionnaire on motivation analysis of open source and open content



Google Docs operates using nonfree Javascript code.  Is it possible
for people to fill out your questionaire without running that nonfree
program?  I don't know, but I guess not.

This illustrates the difference between the free software movement
(which GNOME is associated with) and open source.  For the free
software movement, free software is ethically distributed software and
nonfree software is an injustice we aim to escape from.  For open
source supporters, it's just a matter of software development
methodologies.
