[wplug] Thanks for the book recommendation

[Teodorski, Chris]

I'm back from vacation, after spending some quality time with the book Free Software, Free Society; I would like to thank those who recommended this book to me.  It has provided me with an interesting insight into the history and ideals behind the free software movement.  I am curious about one thing though; I find it interesting that Stallman seems to have significantly different ideals than those in the Open Source movement.  I was wondering what the consensus is amongst the WPLUG, Free Software vs. Open Source.  

I've decided to join the Free Software Society, but I find myself on the support end of things, so it seems that I'm not making any significant investment besides $120 a year.  I wonder how those who write code for a living feel about the Free Software movement as opposed to the Open Source movement.

That is all.  Thanks again for the recommendation.
