Hi Everyone: I understand that GNU looks for the use of free software. My question is.. It is easy to incorporate those software on the company network? It is totally free? What exactly do they mean when mentioning GNU?Linux?

So what is the "open source movement"? The little snippets of information that I’ve managed to gather tell me that the proponents of the open source movement want the right to be able to modify and redistribute software as they wish. So does this mean that they’re unsupportive of the current software copyright laws?

Is there a difference between open-source and free software?

I apologize for my ignorance, but I’ve only recently discovered an interest in programming.

Open Source software has been around for a long time now and it pretty much in a stage where it rivals windows in many ways, there have been tons of articles about Ubuntu,Fedora,Suse and many other distros. So why do we use windows and keep paying Microsoft for crappy OS? Ubuntu for example is way easier than windows to use and comes with tons of free software.

I want to change the word {Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.} at bottom of Joomla! CMS to {Powered by Joomla!} coz it will looks better.

I know that they’ve got different ideologies, but what is the essential difference? I think that Open Source can be a bit more restrictive (e.g. you can keep derivatives of your work from being sold), is that true? Are there any other, more general differnces?
I don’t mean ‘free’ as in ‘free beer’ or something. I’m talking about free software, based on the principles of freedom and stuff.
