The Uneasy Alliance: Free Software vs Open Source

Analyse both free software and open source approach in your blog. If you prefer one, provide your arguments.

I think i am mostly on free software guys side. In the way open source is giving people possibility to have source to develop the software and make it better, but still its not sayd it's totally free.

For example Oracle is willing to buy Sun, and MySql as open source software will be bought by Oracle too. And nothing can keep Oracle away to chance the licensing of the MySQL. If MySql would have been free, then there would'nt be such a problem. You can also help to save MySql -> http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-saving-mysql.html
