# FOSS
FOSS ([Free](free_software.md) and [Open Source](open_source.md) Software, sometimes also [FLOSS](floss.md), adding *Libre*), is a kind of neutral term for software that is both free as in freedom and open source. It's just another term for this kind of software, as if there weren't enough of them :) People normally use this to stay neutral, to appeal to both free and open source camps or if they simply need a short term not requiring much typing.
FOSS ([Free](free_software.md) and [Open Source](open_source.md) Software, sometimes also [FLOSS](floss.md), adding *Libre*), is a kind of neutral term for software that is both free as in freedom and open source. It's just another term for this kind of software, as if there weren't enough of them :) People normally use this to stay neutral, to appeal to both free and open source camps or if they simply need a short term not requiring much typing. It's maybe also a little more vague [acronym](acronym.md) as in "I don't care, it has some kinda freeish license" and so it's possibly also a good label for a lot of "[modern](modern.md)" software which can rarely be called a purely [free software](free_software.md) anymore -- most new projects are some sort of [bloated](bloat.md) bastard child of originally a free software project and some corporation's openwashing [rapeware](rapeware.md), so we just call it "FOSS".
