I didn't say that Open Source Campaigner's are untouchables. My only
concern is that on long run Open Source will fail to ensure the
Software Freedom.
I failed to explain my concern, I think this wikipedia page will do it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_software_licenses
If I am quoting Hrish's words with few modification, Open source is
corporate friendly while Free Software is community friendly(This is
purely my perspective).
If I'm using a BSD code, I will be able to build a propitiatory stuff.
But it is not possible with GPL(BSD is Free Software Compatible).
Anyway it is a choice of the developer.
