Lightning talks should be about free software-related issues and not advocate proprietary software or [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html Services as a Software Substitute (SaaSS)]. To recognize the ethical importance of freedom for software users, we ask that speakers use the term "free software" instead of "open source" in their presentations.
