There is a difference between free software and open-source software.
A free software or web site must be open source and respect the points of the Free Software Foundation to be considered as free (at least by the community). Whereas a website or an application can be open source without necessarily being free.
So maybe we have to make the difference between the two.
It makes sense, I support the new case proposal then!
The weight fits well too.
In which topic would it be? In the proposal it is written https://edit.tosdr.org/topics/10 although the link leads nowhere to me.
I don’t know if we are talking about the same free software. I am talking (in French) about “Libre” software and not “Gratuit” software. But in the law, I don’t think that “Libre” software is described. It is described by the FSF.
But then, I think it deserves the creation of this case.
No bad opinions have been expressed, so the case is now on Phoenix! Terms of Service; Didn't Read - Phoenix
Also, I’ve updated the description of Case 171 to make clearer the difference between libre and open-source software.
I think this is a special case where “service” can be properly applied because ToS;DR also rates apps in some cases where the term website does not apply.
“The service is open-source”
While we are at it, should we make a case that has a higher weight than this one called “The service is FOSS”? Since open-source does not necessarily mean that everything is fully open-source
I’ve heard ‘source-available’ (source available license - Wikidata) as a term that carries no connotations of licensing (that is, software freedom) either way.
After thinking about it, we should as Justin said, name this point “The service is open-source” and then change “the service” in the title by the thing concerned.
