Subject: Re: Please don't refer to Emacs as "open source"
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:48:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1QWdLW-00080Z-LL@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87vcw9ksdd.fsf@uwakimon.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp> (stephen@xemacs.org)

GNU Emacs is part of the GNU Project, a project with the goal of
liberating the users from proprietary software.  That's a free
software goal which the discourse of "open source" does not recognize.
So it is very important for us to insist on recognition for our
movement.  People who would like our cooperation in their activities
should recognize who we are.
