    I know what FOSS and OSS is, but what is FLOSS? Search gave me only dental hygiene results.

      Free, Libre, and Open Source Software

      The FSFE has an overview over the various terms but tldr FLOSS is the one that has the least amount of agitated neckbeards breathing down your neck because it a) includes both free software and open source and b) includes the “L” that clarifies that what’s meant is free as in speech, not free as in beer.

      …and I guess it’s about software hygiene?
