Geoffrey,


I spoke to the department chair specifically about Stallman's ideas and 
he told me what I thought he will say: Stallman's ideas might be a 
little too radical in "free software" and because Stallman stresses 
"free software" more than the "open source" idea. I chose to produce the 
ethics of open source rather than free software since Linus and other 
prominent OS advocates have moved away from Stallman and "free software".
I believe that Linux now falls under the category of "open source" and 
not "free software".
