The " very seductive " moral and ethical rhetoric of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation fails, he said, " not because his principles are wrong, but because that kind of language ... simply does not persuade anybody ".

The Free Software Foundation advises people to " avoid using terms like ' give away ' or ' for free ,' because those terms imply that the issue is about price, not freedom.

Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation in 1985 to provide the organizational structure to advance his free software ideas.

Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Movement

Software development for the GNU operating system began in January 1984, and the Free Software Foundation ( FSF ) was founded in October 1985.

The FSF recommends using the term " free software " rather than " open source software " because, as they state in a paper on Free Software philosophy, the latter term and the associated marketing campaign focuses on the technical issues of software development, avoiding the issue of user freedoms.

" Stallman states that while the term " Free Software " can lead to two different interpretations, one of them is consistent with FSF definition of Free Software so there is at least some chance that it could be understood properly, unlike the term " Open Source ".

Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation in 1985 to support the movement.

Members of the free software movement believe that all users of software should have the freedoms listed in The Free Software Definition.

The Free Software Foundation also believes all software needs free documentation, in particular because conscientious programmers should be able to update manuals to reflect modification that they made to the software ), but deems the freedom to modify less important for other types of written works.

The Free Software Definition, written by Richard Stallman and published by Free Software Foundation ( FSF ), defines free software as a matter of liberty, not price.

Despite the fundamental philosophical differences between the free software movement and the open source movement, the official definitions of free software by the Free Software Foundation and of open source software by the Open Source Initiative basically refer to the same software licences, with a few minor exceptions.

While stressing the philosophical differences, the Free Software Foundation comments:
