I (continue to) dispute my fried Richard's assertion that the open
source movement has only practical (pragmatic) goals. It has in my
experience the same goals as does the free software movement -- but uses
differing marketing terminology to advance those goals.
If, say, the Open Source Definition is ever amended (or applied) in a
fashion that radically departs from the principles of free software,
then I would revise my view -- but, until then, I tend to see the only
sincere indication of "goals" in software as being embodied by code and
by licensing terms -- in which areas the two movements are demonstrably
aiming in the exact same direction.
