seems like someone tried to solve a problem by declaring

"open source ≈ freesoftware"

You can compile a binary by using the provided code and it gives you a binary, yes.

you modify the code, compile, sell the binary, because "they provided the code" opensours.org said "it means free software" "free as in freedom" so "I am free to do whatever I want with this software." "

That is untrue. I can open source my product for a reason, but if anyone try to sell it it's a crime. I openenly show everyone my source code, but without the right licence it's nothing. often you can't even compare it to the software running.

you can do much with free software. depending on the licence, also unfree software. but then it's no free software anymore

free software is relevant

open source is only one point and can also apply to properity software

free

open source ≠ free

open source ≈ source code published

it's free software

 

You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

they pretty much all run linux ootb. Question is: What devices run without binary blobs underneath the OS?

maybe they need the parking lots, for people putting gasoline via canisters in their cars.
