Oh, cool: Another discussion about what is and what is not open/free/libre.
Just when this thread can't be more boring.

Perhaps I should have said, from Latin liber via French and/or Spanish libre, or going further back, proto-Indo-European *h₁lewdʰ-.According to wiktionary, the english word comes from both the French and the Spanish ones. As is I don't see either of those definitions explicity matching up to the idea of libre software. Specifically libre software does present obligations to you, in that if you wanted to modify it and release it you must release the altered source code.
he was an employee (not a student) and involved in a project (not Emacs (not AI (probably))). then the project (including code) was purchased by a third party ((bloodsucking) corporate) entity.

english is the python of natural languages
less syntax
dumber
better
Portuguese? People? Python? Partially? Pee? Pyra?Let's stop using the P-word.
Do you know of a language which has no such drawbacks?I'd say it's more like the Microsoft of natural languages:
Ubiquitous
Bloated
Monolithic
Inherently prejudiced / biased
Forced on the majority of people
Partially archaic / obsolete
Oftentimes deliberately obscure
