Hi OSI folks,

Just to abuse a little from your patience.

Since i already misunderstood the concept of "open-source" (which does not
only means source-code-available, but also requires-free-distribution), are
there any other concepts behind "free software", except that they are free
of charge?

2nd question: if i want to say that my software is "open source" but not
"freely distributed", which term must i use?

thanks and regards

    guich
