Hi

I'm happy to say that AKAIF:

  Free Software == FLOSS

At the presentation of the FLOSS report at the Oekonux conference it
was said that this was a term that was in common use in France and
that Stallman had indicated that he was happy with it and the that
the intention of it was to clarify that Free as in freedom and not
free price was the intention -- libre.

Chris
