You'll need to explain your self a little better, at least to me.
 Using the term "Open Source" instead of "Free Software"?    What do you 
mean by that?

I guess I understand "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux" would be more 
accurate, but I think he knows and expects his readers to know, he's 
just saying Linux for short.  No big deal? Right?

But I think "Open Source software" is a good description for what we use 
and advocate here.  
Right?  Wrong?

It doesn't necessarily have to be free, does it?  (At least not all of 
it.)   ??

I think most of us don't mind paying for at least some of the software 
we use.  Right? Wrong?

Maybe I'm missing your point?
