[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] libpostproc splitout

[Nicolas George]

Jean-Baptiste Kempf (12024-11-26):
> Open Source encompasses Libre Software for years, and is a superset.

Juridically, yes. Philosophically, absolutely not. Open Source is about
making profit with software while still providing the source code. Libre
Software is about making good code ans sharing it with our fellow
hackers and serving the public as a side effect.

> But, to answer to your point, Governance for Libre Software and Open Source is exactly the same.

No, they are not, precisely due to the fundamental differences in
philosophy.

And the CEO of a company trying to to exploit it for profit is the worst
possible person to manage or contribute to manage a Libre Software
project.
