	abstract = {The Open Source Initiative and the Free Software Foundation  share a common goal: that everyone should be free to modify and redistribute the software they commonly use. {\textquoteright}Should{\textquoteright} is of course a normative word. For the FSF, {\textquoteright}should{\textquoteright} is a moral imperative. Anything else is an immoral restriction on people{\textquoteright}s activities, just as are restrictions on speech, press, movement, and religion. For the OSI, freedom is a necessary precondition for a world where "software doesn{\textquoteright}t suck", in the words of a founder of the OSI.

The FSF started from its founder{\textquoteright}s GNU Manifesto widely published in 1985. Given the manifesto{\textquoteright}s hostility to copyright, and given the failure of the Free Software Foundation to gain any traction amongst commercial users of software even with a 13-year head start, a group of people gathered together in 1998 to talk about a new strategy to get the corporate world to listen to hackers. They were impressed by Eric Raymond{\textquoteright}s Cathedral and the Bazaar{\textquoteright}s take-up among business leaders.},
