FLOSS
acronymprogrammingops culture
Stands for: Free/Libre and Open Source Software
An umbrella term for software that is both free (as in freedom) and open source.
The 'libre' in the middle disambiguates the English 'free', which confusingly means both no-cost and liberty; FLOSS emphasizes the freedom to use, study, modify, and share. It is the neutral label that sidesteps the long-running free-software-versus-open-source framing debate.
