A representative that came to Portugal last year, IIRC from Unisys representing EU OSO quite clearly stated that Java was "open source", and seemed to suggest Free Software not so good for Management because "they have ethics", somehow trying to say that "open source" was more pragmatic. I think that that kind of support is quite misleading and should be improved... His mesage was not only factually wrong, but also seemed to subconsciously suggest that "open source" activists would sell their grandmothers for business, and I don't subscribe that PoV.
