<bb>>Openb>bb>> Source - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

However, the obvious meaning for the expression ``<bb>>openb>bb>> source software'' is ``You can look at the source code.''

The official definition of ``<bb>>openb>bb>> source software,'' as published by the <bb>>Openb>bb>> Source Initiative, is very close to our definition of free software; however, it is a little looser in some respects, and they have accepted a few licenses that we consider unacceptably restrictive of the users.
In effect, these companies seek to gain the favorable cachet of ``<bb>>openb>bb>> source'' for their proprietary software products--even though those are not ``<bb>>openb>bb>> source software''--because they have some relationship to free software or because the same company also maintains some free software.
