The free software philosophy rejects a specific widespread business practice, but it is not against business.  When businesses respect the users' freedom, we wish them success.
免費軟體的哲理是拒絕已經廣為流傳的商業運作方式，但並非對抗。若商業尊重用戶的自由，我們祝福他成功。

Teaching new users about freedom became more difficult in 1998, when a part of the community decided to stop using the term "free software" and say "open-source software" instead.

Some who favored this term aimed to avoid the confusion of "free" with "gratis(免費)"--a valid goal(有效的目標). Others, however, aimed to set aside the spirit of principle that had motivated the free software movement and the GNU project, and to appeal(呼籲
) instead to executives and business users, many of whom hold an ideology(意識形態) that places profit above freedom, above community, above principle. Thus, the rhetoric(修辭) of "Open Source" focuses on the potential to make high quality, powerful software, but shuns(避開) the ideas of freedom, community, and principle.
