"Open Source" is not the same as "Free Software"



Hi,
At the beginning of intro/free.wml it says:
P><strong>Note:</strong> In February 1998 a group moved to replace the term
"Free Software" with "Open Source Software". As will become clear in the
discussion below, they both refer to essentially the same thing.

I think we should change it.
"Free Software" and "Open Source Software" are two different movements and
the second term poses several problems as you can
