Free and open-source software by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
A more precise term for those in the know: open source software that also has a liberal license, for some definition of liberal.
Ciro Santilli defines liberal as: "can be commercialized without paying anything back" (but possibly subject to other restrictions).

For the newbs, the term open source software is good enough, since most open source software is also FOSS.
But when it's not, it's crucial to know.

Simple group by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Does not have any non-trivial normal subgroup.
And therefore, going back to our intuition that due to the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms there is one normal group per homomorphism, a simple group is one that has no non-trivial homomorphisms.
