Talk:Free software movement

message: The lead should have a small paragraph about the relation between the Free Software community and the Open Source community. This would be supported by the now named Subgroups and schisms section. Belorn (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  The open source community  

message: Specifically regarding where quotations are more prolific, there seems to be some mixing of 'free software movement' and 'free-software movement' used.
Which is proper? Raider480 (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

text: It should be "free-software movement" as "free software" is a compound modifier to "movement"; this is just the proper usage of punctuation in the English language. LordOfPens (talk) 16:52, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The policy you should read is WP:COMMONNAME. Appealing to your grammar preferences does not override the rest of the world calling it "free software" without a hyphen. lethargilistic (talk) 16:57, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is not a grammar preference; this is a fundamental part of English grammar. When referring to the software, it is "free software"; when referring to the movement, it is "free-software movement". LordOfPens (talk) 17:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the name of a movement and they self-identify this way, not hyphenated. lethargilistic (talk) 20:11, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not all of us identify as such, and the movement is not unified enough to have a collective preference one way or the other. In such a circumstance, I believe the spelling should default to proper English. LordOfPens (talk) 16:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This last reply came after I opened the WP:DRN discussion due to the breadth of this editing pattern. All further discussion should take place there. (It is listed under "User talk:LordOfPens") lethargilistic (talk) 19:01, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The source for the proposed law is a news article from 2002 about an advocacy effort. I can't find any other coverage so I assume no bill was ever actually introduced in the legislature. Is this notable enough to remain in the article? I'm leaning towards no, but curious to hear other perspectives. Zeldafanjtl (talk) 23:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
